2177.0. "What's the supported way to add help to the ncl help library?" by EDSCLU::GARROD (IBM Interconnect Engineering) Wed May 14 1997 20:07

    What is the recommended way for a layered product to add help to NCL
    in V4.x. I've looked at make_help. It looks like I could just add my
    module with ar but then it wouyld appear at the end. If I want it in
    alphabetical order it looks like I need to extract everything in
    the original ncl_help.txt then create a new ncl_help.txt.
    
    The old make_help.sh seemed to do a better job of this. It appears
    that you used to ship all the individual help modules and make_help
    could build a whole help library.
    
    Byut the new make_help.txt doesn;t seem to have an extract phase before
    it does all of its sorting. Is this a bug?

    This is discussed in 2175.  BTW, the usage for make_help
    is jsut to cd to where the new .hlp files are, and then
    just run "make_help.sh"

    As discussed offline make_help really needs to extract everying in
    ncl_help.txt first so that everything gets put back in the right
    alphabetical order.
