What are the standard methods (and nonstandard too, I guess)
of providing help to a user of a window application? The
Presentation Manager Style Guide recommends utilizing the F1 key
and having a Help item on the menu bar. What packages/techniques are
available, though, for actually providing the help, context
sensitive or otherwise, for applications running under, say, MOTIF?
I am also interested in pointers to papers which discuss
how best to present online assistance to the user. Any help
here would be much appreciated.
