One of the key elements to nu/TPU’s extensibility is the ability to customize
help files. This is useful if you are creating your own editing features and
would like to provide on-line help information.
The help files contain text to be retrieved by the HELP_TEXT built-in
function. Help files are broken into two parts. The actual help text is contained in
the *.HLB files. The *.IDX files are indices into the *.HLB files. The nu/TPU
supplied help files are shown below.
EVEHELP.HLB EVEKEY.HLB TPUHELP.HLB SIHELP.HLB
EVEHELP.IDX EVEKEY.IDX TPUHELP.IDX SIHELP.IDX
The files prefixed with si and EVE are the help files for the si and EVE interfaces. The files prefixed with TPU are the help files for nu/TPU
itself.
For details on modifying the nu/TPU help text and using the makehelp utility,
see Help Information, .
The help files can also be completely replaced to support new applications or
foreign languages.
