When changing the help menu files, you must note that Terminate will use some search strings that are in the default help files. You should not remove those entries or put similar strings in other places in the help file. You risk that a subject will then be located in the wrong place when showing the help files. If you don't understand the rest of this document you should not try to change the helpfiles. You can insert an ascii #12 ( ) anywhere to force a new page on the printer, the #12 will be ignored when showing the help online. Maximum help file size is 1000 lines of 255 characters. Color codes Default ^n Normal text colour Grey ^h Highlighted text colour Cyan ^b Bold text colour Yellow ^r Menu bar colour Blue on grey background ^m Menu colour Bright cyan ^t Menu head colour Yellow on blue background ^f Toggle flash/blink No flash, always after a color command Terminate has a lot of keywords inside the TERMINAT.EXE file. These words are used for placing the cursorbar in the helpfiles, so you will get faster access to help for the current item. Generally do not change the text inside headlines or highlighted text like: ^hConfiguration^n Note that the search word will have a ^ appended so it won't stop in the menu. Example: Menu: ^mÚÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ¿ ³ Configuration ^m³ ³ Exit ^m³ ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÙ^n Information: ^hConfiguration^n If the menubar is placed on configuration, then the actual search word will be: CONFIGURATION^ in uppercase and with a ^ appended. This will result in the menubar being placed at the information instead of at the menu. That is why you should not place the ^ right after a menu option. In general do not change color until right in front of where the colour change is needed. Terminate will show which keyword you are missing when calling the help menu. Then look at the keyword and change it back in the .HLP file.
