Example Files 

To illustrate some of the features of the help system, a selection of
files are shown in this section.  The example focuses on one particular
menu file in the Hewlett-Packard help system and one of the text files
that it references.  A user has written a extension menu file to add
options to the menu, new text files to be referenced from these menu
options, and an extension text file to extend the original text file.

The way in which these files are related is shown below, followed on the
next page by the contents of each of the files.
