SUMMARY
The &quot;Microsoft Professional Advisor Library Reference Manual&quot; documents many cross-reference commands that the QuickHelp utility (QH.EXE) does not support. To use these commands in your help file, you must develop a help viewer application using the functions that the Microsoft Professional Advisor Library provides.



MORE INFORMATION
Cross-reference commands direct the host application to perform an action when the user selects a hotspot. The Reference manual discusses these commands on page 19-21.

QuickHelp, distributed with most Microsoft programming language products, can view help files, but is supports only a small subset of the cross-reference commands. The supported commands are as follows:

!B Back

!P Position

!M Mark

To use any other cross-reference command in your help file, you must develop a help file viewing application using the Microsoft Advisor Library help engine.
