# The WorkShop Visual Help help system

This program is a simple help viewer for X/Motif. It is written in C++ and the source is supplied with WorkShop Visual. You may use the system in your own applications.

If you started it from within a program, it should have been showing a page describing some feature of that application before you moved to this page. To go back to that page, select 'Back' from the Naviagation menu or click the leftward-pointing arrow button on the toolbar. To discover more about the help viewer, read on.

The main window of the application is split into five sections - the menu bar, the toolbar, the title text, the body text, and the links list.

The menubar contains four menus - File, Edit, Naviagtion and Help

The File menu contains buttons to open a new help page, print the current page, and to exit the help viewer.

The Edit menu contains an option to copy the text that is currently selected in either the title or body text.

The navigation menu has options to move backwards and forwards through the pages which you have visited in your current session in WorkShop Visual Help, to get an index of the help topics if currently knows about, to display a list of the help topics you have visited in your current session, and to find help pages containing specific words.

The toolbar contains a number of buttons, whose functionality is duplicated in the options on the pulldown menus.

The head and body text show the current help topic - right now, the head text will say 'The WorkShop Visual Help help system' - just above here - and you are reading the text in the body text area right now!

The list of links below this text shows the other pages which are relevant to the current page. Double-click on any of these to go to the page described there.
