1134.0. "Writing help for an index CHOICE field" by SHALOT::SEALY () Tue Jul 28 1992 14:27

I notice that on the Index of Messages (EM$INDEX), help on the CHOICE field
refers back to the Electronic Messaging menu (EMC).

For example, if I type ALL and press HELP, I see the EMC form's level-1
help (because ALL is not available on the EMC form).

As a user, I would expect to see the same help that I get on the Index Menu
(EM$INDEX$MENU), although I would expect it to be specific to the current
option (which the EM$INDEX$MENU help is not).

I am writing help for an application in which this behavior needs to be
changed.  The options on the index do not work the same as they do on the
menu, and the menu's help is misleading. Can anyone tell me how to redirect
the help on the choice field of an index?

Thanks.
