PC Access for Windows Reference Guide

for PC Access Version 4.30

Script Command: winhelp

winhelp "filename" {context CONTEXT_ID};

This command starts the Windows help system and displays the help file "filename". The optional context parameter allows you to specify a help context in the help file. If you do not specify a context, the contents topic of the help file will display.

¨ Note: if your interest in this command is to let you open a help file from a Speed Button on the Terminal window, be aware that you can open a help file directly from a Speed Button without creating and specifying an intermediate script file.

Example:

label HELP;

// Display the help file TEST.HLP's contents topic:

winhelp "TEST.HLP";

// Display the help file TEST.HLP's topic having context 1234:

winhelp "TEST.HLP" context 1234;

Back to script command list.
