IBM PERSONAL COMPUTER ON-LINE HELP
                        V5.2 by D.N.Ikle' 02/01/86
                        For public domain use only

       On-Line HELP provides access to descriptions of all the commands
       and utilities available on an IBM PC/XT or PC compatible hard
       disk system under IBM PC DOS 3.x.  An abbreviated version can
       also be installed on a floppy disk based PC or PC compatible
       system under IBM or MS DOS 2.x.  On-Line HELP can be invoked
       either from the DOS prompt or from within an application program,
       and it can be easily modified to describe any particular system.

       On-Line HELP is distributed on bulletin boards in the two archive
       files HELPxxA.ARC and HELPxxB.ARC, where xx is the current
       version number.  The public domain utility ARC is required to
       extract the individual files.

       HELPxxA.ARC contains files needed to install non-resident HELP
       and to describe IBM DOS 3.1 commands.  Included are:

           HELPxx.TXT       Description of version xx archive files.
           COMMAND1.###     Annotated list of IBM DOS 3.1 commands.
           DPATH.COM        Public domain path extender utility.
           DPATH.DOC        Documentation for DPATH.
           HELP.###         On-Line HELP display file describing HELP.
           HELP.COM         On-Line HELP program (non-resident).
           HELP.DOC         Documentation for On-Line HELP.
           HELPDOS3.ARC     HELP files for IBM DOS 3.1 commands.
           TEMPLATE         Skeleton HELP display file.

       HELPxxB.ARC contains the memory resident version of the HELP
       program, additional HELP files that describe the Norton Utilities
       Version 3.1 and 24 common public domain utilities, and the Turbo
       Pascal source code for the two versions of HELP.  Included are:

           HELPxx.TXT       Description of version xx archive files.
           COMMAND2.###     Annotated list of all commands/utilities.
           HELP.INC         TP include file of common procedures.
           HELP.PAS         TP source code for non-resident HELP.
           HELPER.COM       On-Line HELP program (memory resident).
           HELPER.PAS       TP source code for memory resident HELP.
           HELPNORT.ARC     HELP files for the Norton Utilities 3.1.
           HELPPUBL.ARC     HELP files for public domain utilities.

       Version 5.0 incorporates numerous improvements that enhance
       program function and speed its execution.  For example, the
       instruction screen is stored internally as an array, the heap is
       used to save and restore the initial display screen, all writing
       to the screen is done through the screen buffer, and the keyword
       entry field on the main menu has full editing capability.

       Version 5.1 blanks the cursor when HELP screens are displayed and
       displays the menu and HELP screens in color on a color monitor.

       Version 5.2 includes a memory resident version of the program
       that allows HELP to be invoked from within other programs. The
       distribution files have been renamed to show the current version.
