Provide the Edit Operation
You can edit the help files as you build your application by enabling the Edit menu operation. The Edit operation appears as a menu item in the help window. Selecting this operation in a help window calls the system editor and opens the generated help file for the frame.
To generate the Edit menu operation for help windows in the running application, you must set the logical or environment variable II_HELP_EDIT at the operating system level before running your application. You do this with the following command:
Windows:
set II_HELP_EDIT="y"
UNIX:
For the C shell:
% setenv II_HELP_EDIT "y"
For the Bourne shell:
$ II_HELP_EDIT="y"
export II_HELP_EDIT
VMS:
define II_HELP_EDIT "y"
