CREATING HELP FILES FOR DOS APPLICATIONS

This is a suggestion to those using DOS applications on the 95LX. Typically, the help files tend to be large and contain too much, or improperly (for the 95LX) formatted text. If your application has macros and can execute a DOS command, you can create a text file with the help info you need (formatted for the 95). Then using a utility like RE.EXE <ON DISK ICON>, create a macro that invokes it and your help file. This creates pop-up help screens that work very well on the 95LX.
