Determines which Help file (.HLP) the dBASE Help system uses.

Syntax

SET HELP TO

[<help filename> | ? | <help filename skeleton>]

<help filename> | ? | <help filename skeleton>

Identifies the Help file to activate. ? and <filename skeleton> display a dialog box, from which you can select a file. If you specify a file without including its extension, dBASE assumes .HLP.

Description

Use SET HELP TO to specify which Help file to use when the dBASE Help system is activated.

The Help file is opened automatically when you start dBASE if you place the file in the dBASE home directory. SET HELP TO closes any open Help file before it opens a new file.
