Description

The SET HELPFILE TO <.hlm filename> command allows you to bypass the main help system and specify your own help system for a particular application. The filename can be substituted with a <expC>, enclosed in round brackets, which returns a valid filename. If no file extension is specified, ’.hlm’ is used. SET HELPFILE TO without an expression deselects the current help system.

The full path name of the help file must be specified.

Example

set helpfile to /usr/apps/help/accounts.hlm
