QH.EXE Does Not Support Most Cross-Reference Commands

ID: Q99950

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft QuickHelp for MS-DOS, versions 1.7, 1.83
Microsoft QuickHelp for OS/2, version 1.7

SUMMARY

The "Microsoft Professional Advisor Library Reference Manual" documents many cross-reference commands that the QuickHelp utility (QH.EXE) does not support. To use these commands in your help file, you must develop a help viewer application using the functions that the Microsoft Professional Advisor Library provides.

MORE INFORMATION

Cross-reference commands direct the host application to perform an action when the user selects a hotspot. The Reference manual discusses these commands on page 19-21.

QuickHelp, distributed with most Microsoft programming language products, can view help files, but is supports only a small subset of the cross-reference commands. The supported commands are as follows:

!B Back
!P Position
!M Mark

To use any other cross-reference command in your help file, you must develop a help file viewing application using the Microsoft Advisor Library help engine.
