I had a couple of comments about the "Help Compiler" recently
distributed via Usenet, and attempted to send them to
rmonsen@bbn.arpa. However, since that system indicates he isn't
there, and since the comments may also be of general interest,
I'll post them here:
Bob,
A nice piece or work. I have a possible bug report and a
possible enhancement question:
Bug? Text seems to extend under the verticle scroll bar, making
it difficult to read. This occurs in several places in the
compiler's own help text.
Enhancement #1: It would be EXTREMELY nice to be able to call
ShowHelp with a string parameter yielding a SPECIFIC help
message, for context-sensitive help. Any thoughts?
Enhancement #2: The obvious desire to be able to embed graphics
in the text.
Feel free to give me a call if you're so inclined.
Sincerely,
Jeff Harrow
