Results Help System

The Results help system contains complete information about the Results product. Progress supplies the source files for the Results help system so that programmers can integrate help information for extensions to Results into the Results help system and distribute a single help file. You will find these Help source files in the directory %DLC%\src\prohelp.

Table 3–10 lists the source files of the Results help system.

Description
reseng.hpj  
The help project file for the Results help system. This ASCII file contains the instructions that the help compiler uses to build the Results help system. Do not change the existing information in the MAP section of this file. If you change this information, you will break the Results help system.
reseng.rtf  
reseng2.rtf  
The help topic files for the Results help system, in rich text format (RTF). These files contains the text of the Results Help System. You can edit the contents of these files and include additional information to document extensions to Results. Use a word processor that supports the RTF standard or a text editor to edit these files.

Graphics files referenced in the reseng.rtf help topic file and used to build the Results help system.
The files are of two kinds: MS-Windows Bitmap (.bmp) and Segmented Hypergraphics (SHED) bitmaps (.shg). If you use SHED format graphics, you can lock the resolution so that Windows’s Help system does not attempt to optimize the bitmap resolution to suit the particular monitor in use.
You can substitute your own graphics files for those (for example, header.shg) that are specific to the Results product name and identity.

For more information about how to author, build, and integrate help systems into a Progress application, see the Progress Help Development Guide.
