Hello David,
On the 10 of December, you replied:
DP\ The program simply used  ON KEY LABEL F1 DO Helper.
  \ Everytime the situation changes, a variable, gcScreen, is changed to a
  \ keyword that corresponds to the field, screen in Help.dbf.
DP\ Helper LOCATEs for the gcScreen and then displays the contents of the 
emo
  \ field, help.  Simple, huh?  Not elegant, not clever.  But it is still 
worki
  \ in several projects years later.
In some way this seems to have been a precursor to the FoxPro help
system, which has extended your idea to include the ability to look up
topics, scan forward and backwards through the topics, and jump to 'see
also' related subjects.
Thanks for the info.                                Randy
