Windows 95-98

Seeking insight as to calling specific Windows Help Pages from within vds script?

As in "To Protect your files by using a screen saver password" help file page.?

What path to use for calling the above page? And also for other systems?

Maybe this will help: Smile

S.A.D.E. s.a.r.l wrote:
Syntax:

WINHELP <help file path>, <key>

Description:

Displays the specified Windows help file, at the page associated with the key <key>. The <key> can be either a keyword or a context ID string defined in the help file. If the second parameter <key> is omitted, the contents page of the help file is shown.

A context ID string must be prefixed by an "=" character, to distinguish it from a keyword. It is not usually possible to find out what the context ID strings are unless you authored the help file. The advantage of using a context ID string is that it uniquely identifies a topic in the help file.

If you specify a keyword, and more than one help topic is associated with the keyword, a list of topics is displayed. If no keyword matches the keyword exactly

the keyword index is displayed with the nearest match selected.

OK:

Set to False if the command fails.

Example:

WINHELP VDS.HLP,events
WINHELP vds.hlp,=key_winhelp
