Re: UIM Help Question

["Simon Coulter" <shc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Jerry,

Compile the common stuff into a separate panel group.  Use :IMPORT to make that 
panel group available.  Use 
:IMHELP to use the common help modules.


COMMON *PNLGRP

:pnlgrp.
. All the common stuff
:epnlgrp.

CMDHELP *PNLGRP

:pnlgrp.
:import pnlgrp='include/common' name='*'.
:help name='help'.Helpful Help
:p.Some helpful stuff.
:p.More helpful stuff.
:imhelp name='com/asterisk'.
:p.Really useful help.
:ehelp.
:epnlgrp.


Regards,
Simon Coulter.
