 A help widget is a modeless widget that allows you
 to display appropriate, context-sensitive help text
 in response to a user query.   The help widget can
 be viewed as an independent application that your
 application calls to provide help functions.  

 The help widget creates and manages one or more
 help windows and determines the first topic to be
 displayed to the user.

 To use the help widget, you perform the following 
 steps:

 1. Use the VMS Librarian Utility (LIBRARIAN) to 
    create a help library. 

 2. Create a Help menu bar item for your
    application.  The Help menu item should be 
    located at the right of the menu bar.  If the
    menu bar is wider than a line, the Help menu 
    item should be located at the bottom right.
