Number HELPMAKE Error Message

H2000 line too long, truncated
  A line exceeded the fixed width specified by the /W option or the default of 76 characters. HELPMAKE truncated the extra characters.
H2001 duplicate context string
  A context string preceded more than one topic in a Help database. A context string can be associated with only one block of topic text.
H2002 zero length hot spot
  A cross-reference was specified, but the word or anchored text associated with it was of zero length.
  With no visible text to associate with the cross-reference, the hot spot will be inoperative. This error is issued as a warning and does not prevent the building of a Help file. However, some applications may not be able to use the resulting Help file correctly.
  The following example will cause this error:

\a\vcross_reference\v

H2003 unrecognized dot command
  A line in the source file contained a dot (.) in column 1, but it was not followed by a command recognized by HELPMAKE.
