The Help System is built into each of
the CDE applications (and possibly other applications installed
on your system). When you ask for help while using an application,
the application displays a help window.
Applications can use two types of help windows to display
help topics: a general help window and a quick
help window, shown in Figure 3-4 “Types of help windows”
General help windows have a topic tree and
a topic display area. The topic tree is a list
of help topics that you can view to find help on a subject. When
you choose a topic, it is displayed in the lower portion of the
help window called the topic display area.
Quick help windows are streamlined help
windows. A quick help window has just a topic display area and one
or more buttons.
