# Process numbers and help.

(Appendix 6)

    Process number and on-line help identification.

     The various processing functions contained in the software are identified by
    three numbers displayed in the status banner. The first of those three
    numbers  is  the  main  process  system  (BBS,  FBBDOS,  Satellite
    Computation, etc...), the second number is the process function (in the BBS,
    list, message sending, etc..) and the third number is a sub-function (record
    of the message title, message, etc..)

     A complete description of these numbers would be useless and time consuming.
    They are mainly used for debugging purpose. The first number is also used to
    identify the help block out of the x.HLP file. Upon receipt of the "?" or the
    "H", the  software  searches  the  x.HLP  file  for  a  line  of
    corresponding to the language in use, and of the format @@ number word in
    which "number" stands for the current processing level, and "word" stands for
    the word following the command "?" or "H".

     Example : you are inside FBBDOS, and you type in the command "? EDIT", the
    help block searched for must begin with the line:

     @@ 9 EDIT

     It may happen that a block matches several search keywords. It is enough to
    specify the various words separated by the character "|" (vertical bar), WITH
    NO SPACE.

     @@ 9 EDIT|EDITEUR
