Is there way to make context help work for user created menus?
TSE trys to find such help when the cursor is on a menu line
of a User menu and <F1> is pressed.
For example I have a menu called "Quick Browse".
One line of the menu's source code is:
"Lis&t Open" , ListOpen()
When I have that line selected in the menu and press <F1> it
displays a full screen window with the following in the middle:
Topic 'Quick Browse menu->List Open' not found
What would have to exist for this to return useful help about list open?

I agree about menu helps. It seems that the F1 can look for them, but
there does not seem to be a way to 'create' them.
I explored this once before and came up with a simplified one-line help
for any item in a menu.
The example below shows a 'message' after three commas after each menu
item. This message will appear on one line at the bottom of the screen
while each item is hilited. No need to press the F1 key.
***/
// jigmenuhelp.s - try to offer help on menu item
<ctrlshift x> execmacro("jigmenuhelp")
menu mtest()
title="Testing menu Help Menu"
history
"" , , divide
"" , , _mf_skip_
""
"I&tem 1" , , , "This is help for Item 1 in the mTest Menu."
"Item &2" , , , "This is help for Item 2 in the mTest Menu."
""
"" , , _mf_skip_
"" , , divide
end
proc main()
integer m=0
integer k=0
m=mtest()
k=query(key)
warn("Menu Selection: "+str(m)+chr(13)+"Key Pressed: "+keyname(k))
end
