The following keys are defined: [F1], [Up], [Down], [Home], [End], [PgUp] and [PgDn]. You should be familiar with the operation of all of these keys. Keep in mind however that pressing [F1] key at any time will bring you back to the screen associated with the "Main Menu" keyword. Press [F1] now to return to the previous screen. ~E ~B,Introduction Introduction This help unit is very simple to use. Incorporating this Unit into your Pascal file is as simple as adding the "Uses HyperLNK" statement to your program. You may then call the help procedure at any point in your program. All of the necessary links to your help keywords will be placed in the actual help file. Once you have learned how to create this text file, you will be off and running. ~E ~B,Features Program Features Obviously, you have already seen that the program can quickly access any help keyword. This section is simply included to show you that the [PgUp] and [PgDn] keys may also be used. ~P Program Features Page 1 ~P Program Features Page 2 ~P Program Features Page 3 ~P Program Features Page 4 ~P Program Features Page 5 ~P Program Features Page 6 ~P Program Features Page 7 ~P Program Features Page 8 ~P Program Features Page 9 ~P Program Features Page 10 ~P Program Features Page 11 ~P Program Features Page 12 ~P Program Features Last Page See Also: ^Features^ ~E ~B,Registration Program Registration On the top line of the screen a copyright notice will always be displayed.
