On-line help is a convenient and powerful way to provide documentation to your users. Because graphical user interfaces are easy to understand, many users do not read documentation and prefer to discover an application's features on their own. On-line help can speed their learning process up.
GEOS provides an object that you can include in your User Interface that will automatically create a "Help" icon or menu item and display help text when that item is invoked. The help text displayed will be context-sensitive as defined by the application. The application simply has to provide the help text and a few other attributes of the help object, and the system will take care of displaying the help when the user requests it.
