/sys$common/syshlp/helplib.hlb LBR Routines, LBR$GET_HELP, Description *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX) |
LBR$GET_HELP returns all help text in the same format as the output returned by the DCL command HELP; that is, it indents two spaces for every key level of text displayed. (Because of this formatting, you may want to make your help messages shorter than 80 characters, so they fit on one line on terminal screens with the width set to 80.) If you do not want the help text indented to the appropriate help level, you must supply your own routine to change the format. Note that most application programs use LBR$OUTPUT_HELP instead of LBR$GET_HELP.
