How do I hook up a Help system to a program RapidApp creates?
Your program makes calls into a specific API for requesting help. There are several libraries that can supply that API, and you can also write your own. The best option is to use the InSight-based Silicon Graphics help system. See Chapter9, “Providing Online Help With SGIHelp,” in the Indigo Magic Desktop Integration Guide for information on how the Silicon Graphics online help system works, how it interprets the help token it receives, and how to provide online help for your application. The vkhelp library distributed with ViewKit provides a simple help system that posts dialogs based on X resources to provide simple help. The source to this library is also part of the ViewKit examples, as a starting point for writing your own help system. See Appendix C, “Using a Help System with ViewKit,” in the IRIS ViewKit Programmer’s Guide for information on the ViewKit links to a help system and the vkhelp library.
