1 What Is Help?
On-line help is important for many applications, especially in the world of graphical interfaces and consumer devices. Many users will opt for exploration of an application rather than reading through the manual, and on-line help can assist them.
The GEOS on-line help system is an information viewing tool to be used by most if not all GEOS applications. It is automated, and adding it to an application is simple. All you need to do is create your help documents with GeoWrite and then add a few help attributes to your application's generic UI objects.
