Creating context-sensitive help

Creating context-sensitive help is a five-step process:

  1. Dump the widget sums.

  2. Create a help book and help files.

  3. Create a hook file for the book.

  4. Add the help book to the system.

  5. Test the help book.


NOTE: The procedures described here explain how to connect HTML files to manager windows and window elements. Docview displays these files when the <F1> key is pressed, a Help button is activated, or the Help menu is used. Creating hyperlinked online books (and man pages) like those supplied with SCO OpenServer is not covered here; the tools for building online books are not available at this time.
