A help system is a documentation component accessed by an application program that explains the usage and features of the program and is meant to help the end user to understand how to use the program efficiently. OS/2 has a built-in GML based help system called Information Presentation Facility, but a number of alternatives exist as well, most of them based around WPS classes.

Alternatives

  • CWHelp Class - A WPS Class that adds a simple help system that is easier to use if your development system does not offer its own help file generation.
  • Hint Bubble - A PM control that displays small text hints and can be attached to other PM controls.
