Re: [PNLGRP] Showing help panel text without pressing help?

Fasten Flensburg has some great examples of using the help panel with commands. I’m sure if you search you’ll find them, I think he put most of his stuff on a web site since the magazine he wrote for went down.

There's an API for that:

Display Help (QUHDSPH) API

Hello,

lately I'm slowly extending my programs with online help. I feel that the markup language for help panel group panels smells a lot like HTML. Good! Makes it easy for me to format actual help text. :-)

I wonder if and how it might be possible to abuse this formatting capability to create a program which opens the PNLGRP object, and shows the formatted text without any user intervention. A "README Program", sort of.

Or am I completely on the wrong track?
