MODE HELP [OFF/user-help-file.HHH [help-definition-name]]
The MODE HELP command establishes the specified file as the current HELP file. Note that a help file name must end in .HHH. Also, this file is assumed to be in the same folder as your Interface. If not, you must supply the full path filename.
Use the MODE HELP command to switch from Thunderbolt's HELP to your own, and/or to post specific help pages as the ones to display if the user requests help. To switch back to Thunderbolt's help, use MODE HELP OFF.
If you do not supply a help definition name, the one named CONTENTS is the default assumption.

Establishing your HELP upon entry into your application
Use the MODE HELP command in your Application Procedure
in order to auto- matically establish your HELP upon entry into your application.
Specifying specific help pages in your procedures
You can make your application help be context sensitive. The best way to do that is to use the MODE HELP to post specific helps just before any screen or dialog (and perhaps switchboard menu) commands, then use it again to repost your CONTENTS definition just after these commands.
