DEFINING A GROUP IN THE GROUP LIST (*)
To define a group that will show up in the group window, simply enter a comment where the first character is an
asterisk. For instance if you want five groups to show up in the group window, then you would include the
following five lines in the QUICK CODE source file.
(*GROUP1)
(*GROUP2)
(*GROUP3)
(*GROUP4)
(*GROUP5)
Of course, you can use any descriptive title for the group that is appropriate to what the group will contain.
Group titles can be up to 35 characters long. Any additional characters beyond 35 will not be displayed.
GROUP HELP
The first five comments after the group definition will be displayed in the help window. These comments can be
used to explain what is contained in the group. For example:
(*HELP)
(THIS GROUP CONTAINS HELP ON HOW TO)
(USE QUICK CODE. WHEN THIS GROUP IS)
(HIGHLIGHTED, TURN THE JOG HANDLE IN)
(THE MINUS DIRECTION FOR MORE HELP.)
Additional comments beyond five lines are not displayed by QUICK CODE. This is a method of documenting
the source file for the developer of the QUICK CODE file. Documenting comments can also be hidden in the
source file by placing an empty comment after group help comments. In the following example only the first
two comments are displayed in the help window.
