In your function block, you add something like:

H 001 4 ADVAUX %1 1

Then you create the file LOOKUP.1 in the VA\DATA folder.

The LOOKUP.1 file contains a menu structure like:

MAIN Main Menu Help
FILE File Menu Help
MESSAGE Message Menu Help

Then you create the files MAIN.HLP, FILE.HLP and MESSAGE.HLP.

You put your help information in those files.
