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:
| 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
