1.3.2 Expanding the Programming Help
A special identifier in the "Extended Help" parameter of the instruction definition
allows a Long Help file to be included in addition to the Short Help (e.g. to display
detailed information about a selected command).
The following calls are possible:
• Editor Help: Jump directly to the Help (pdf file) from a term (command) in the
Short Help "ASCII" of the program editor
Precondition:
A list of additional commands to be displayed in the Short Help has already
been created (e.g. IFM_GR.COM), according to the procedure described in
Section 1.4 "Expanding the text files", and stored in the control. This enables
the "About" key to be used to call the Long Help after the Short Help. Make sure
that the list of commands for the Short Help corresponds to the list of
commands for the Long Help (concordance).
• Cycle Help: Jump to the Help (pdf file) from an input field in the cycle screen
