1. The VADV Hypertext Help System

        The hypertext help system is one of the truly unique features
        of the Virtual Advanced BBS.  It is very flexable and can be
        configured to meet a variety of informational needs.  The
        calling sequence is

		ADVAUX %1 HELP <help system number>

	The <help system number> is used to form a filename of the
	"lookup" file, which should be placed in your VADV \DATA direc-
	tory.  For example, for help system number 1, the file name would
	be LOOKUP.1 (not LOOKUP.001).  Help systems from 1 to 999 are
	available; system 0 is reserved for future internal use.
	Lookup files have the format -- one entry per line --

		<help filename> <keyword or key phrase>

	For example, you might have this information in your lookup file:

		MAIN    Main Menu
		MESS    Message Base Information
		FILE    File Base Information
		QWK     QWK Mailer Help

	In the lookup file, do not put in an extension for the help
	filename; .HLP is assumed.  The first entry in your lookup file
	is considered to be the starting point.  The help filename speci-
	fied is displayed, and the user is prompted; continuing or going
	back to the main menu proceeds from there.

	Within each help file, you reference topics in the lookup
	file by bracketing them with [ and ].
	Using the example LOOKUP file from above, help-file skeletons
	might look like this:

	MAIN.HLP:
	----------

			       Your text here.

			 [Message Base Information]
			   [File Base Information]
			      [QWK Mailer Help]

	MESS.HLP
	---------

			       Your text here.

				[Main Menu]
			   [File Base Information]
			      [QWK Mailer Help]

	FILE.HLP
	---------

			       Your text here.

			  [Message Base Information]
				[Main Menu]
			      [QWK Mailer Help]

	QWK.HLP
	---------

			       Your text here.

			  [Message Base Information]
			   [File Base Information]
				 [Main Menu]

	The hypertext links (information in square brackets) can be
        placed at any point in the help file.

	Each .HLP file should have one or two blank lines at the top
	and at least three blank lines at the bottom of the file in
	order to accommodate the header and footer lines that VADV
	appends to the display area.
