       jjhheellpp _t_o_p_i_c

       jjhheellpp  is intended to be invoked automatically by Tk-based
       applications, but you can also invoke it yourself from the
       command  line  by typing `jhelp _t_o_p_i_c', where topic is the
       name of a jjhheellpp help file.  If the requested file can't be
       found, an alert box will tell you so.

       The jjhheellpp application was developed as a tool for display-
       ing online manuals for Tk-based applications.  (Of course,
       there's  no  reason  it  can't  be used for other kinds of
       files as well.)  The help files it displays consist of one
       or  more  _s_e_c_t_i_o_n_s,  and  you can view the sections in any
       order.

       It is written in wwiisshh, an  X  Windows  scripting  language
       based on the Tk toolkit and the Tcl scripting library (all
       three by John Ousterhout of Berkeley), and it can be  cus-
       tomised in that language.

       Detailed  documentation  describing  how  to  use jjhheellpp is
       available online via the `Help with Help' menu entry under
       the `Help' menu.
