Chapter 6 Creating Your Own HELP Facility A HELP facility is a help catalog and the user interface to that catalog. You create your own HELP facility by developing a help catalog and allowing users to access it via the MPE XL HELP user interface. You are probably already familiar with the MPE XL HELP user interface; you use it when you access the MPE XL HELP facility. HELP facilities provide extra information to the user by outputting explanatory text in response to keyword input. You create this information easily and access it in a simple and consistent manner. To create your own HELP facility, you first create a source file that contains keywords to identify sections of the catalog. These keywords allow the user access to the HELP facility. The source file is then formatted and the user interface is redirected to the formatted file. Finally, users access the HELP facility.
