% help.txt, completely rewritten by Matthias Friedrich , % based on the slrn reference manual and the original help.txt. % This file may be viewed on-line by SLRN by pointing the environment variable % SLRNHELP to it. It is particlularly useful when you modify the default % keybindings and you want the on-line help to reflect this fact. % The format of the file is simple. Lines that start with `%' are comment % lines and will be ignored. Any line that consists entirely of whitespace % is also ignored. % cpp Macros may be used but are only useful in combination with the % makehelp script, which is used to generate the documentation in help.c % from this file. % The file is divided into sections. A section is started by the presence of % a line that contains a name enclosed in brackets. Currently, the only % names formed in this manner are [Article] and [Group]. The text that % follows one of these names will be displayed as the help screen for that % particular mode. [Group] Note: The keys are case sensitive! That is, 's' and 'S' are not the same.
