Chapter 23 Using Help

Microsoft C/C++ offers two systems for accessing Help:

The Microsoft Advisor, found within the Programmer's WorkBench (PWB) and CodeView

QuickHelp, the standalone Help program

Both systems provide the same information on important topics and utilities provided with the development system, which include the language, run-time libraries, PWB, and CodeView.

The first part of this chapter, “Structure of the Microsoft Advisor,” outlines the structure and contents of Help. The second section, “Navigating Through the Microsoft Advisor,” takes you on a quick tour of the system. The third section shows how to use some of PWB's advanced Help features. The next section, “Using QuickHelp,” explains how to use the QuickHelp program and how it differs from the Microsoft Advisor. The final section discusses how to manage your Help files.
