I never have been able to get HELP on the ICONIC MAP. Always the
Iconic Map process terminated. I never wrote the error message.
Now starting the investigation, I noted the error message:
"Xtoolkit: BadIDChoice, Invalid resource ID for this connection."
What could be wrong with my environment? Am I supposed to receive a context
sensitive HELP ?
Regards,
Dominique.

| 948.1 | HELP works now. | KETJE::PACCO | Wed Apr 24 1991 14:54 | 10 | |
Once I deleted the the TCPIP domain, deregisterd it, created a new one
and repopulated the domain (Cfr note 929.*) also the problems in
selecting "HELP" from the ICONIC MAP also went away. Now HELP seems to
work fine.
Other question: How can we find out which KEYWORDS exists in the
ICONIC MAP HELP ?

Dominique.

| 948.2 | why? | TOOK::CALLANDER | Wed Apr 24 1991 16:51 | 19 | |
do you want the list of keywords because you are developing a module and want to know where to plug things in, or are you just a curious user? The tool we call HFB (Help File Builder) produces a list of topics and keywords as a byproduct of the HFB run. I believe that the creation of the keyword files is the default. To run HFB do the following: $ set def sys$common:[mcc] $ manage/tool/help $ type mcc_character_cell_help.top $ type mcc_decwindows_help.top The .top files are of the format: topic sub_topic hfb_keyword To look at the topic files I would suggest that you user a 132 column format. | |||||

It's more as a curious user. Sitting in front of the ICONIC MAP, I
selected "HELP", found "keywords" and then I was lost.
I selected a few as "VERBS, etc..." without success.
Something as "EXPAND KEYWORDS" to avoid additional documentation
could be a plus.
