ARexxHelp v2.0         (24 Jan 1995)
                       ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Synopsis:
~~~~~~~~~
        ARexxHelp is an online help program for use with, funnily enough,
ARexx.  The program will define all of the current ARexx error codes so
that you can instantly tell what went wrong with your code.  When not in
use the program sits happily in the background waiting for your next error,
without using any CPU time.

Legal:
~~~~~~
    Whilst ARexxHelp is freely distributable, it is NOT Public Domain.  The
author retains all copyright on it and associated material.  You can
include it in any Public Domain disk collection as long as NO MORE than a
nominal disk copying fee is asked.  I realise some BBSs strip distributions
to save space, however, please keep at least the original icon and doc file
with the program when including this distribution in any archives.

Requirements:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        ARexxHelp requires both Workbench 2.04+ and reqtools.library v38.
As of v2.0 of ARexxHelp is no longer Workbench 1.3 compatible.  This
earlier operating system is obsolete.  Anyone still using it is well
advised to upgrade to at least v2.0 (3.1 preferable).

Usage:
~~~~~~
    Simply run ARexxHelp from either the CLI or Workbench.

    Once run a window will appear on the Workbench screen.  In the window
you'll find several gadgets:

        Quit           : What do you think?

        About          : Program Information.

        Show Error     : Displays the error description.

        >              : Increases the error number.

        <              : Decreases the error number.

        Number Gadget  : You can type the error number here if you prefer.


    All the gadgets have an underlined character which corresponds to a key
which will perform the same function.  In addition to these, the , and .
will work as the < and > (Saves holding down shift).  Hitting RETURN will
result in the error description being displayed.

    All functions are duplicated in the pull-down menus, which have their
own set of hotkeys (the same as the gadgets in most cases).

Programming Notes:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    ARexx Help was written on a 3meg A500 with a 52meg Quantum SCSI hard
drive.  It was compiled with SAS/C v5.10a and the GUI was designed using
Jan Van Den Baard's GadToolsBox.
