%   Move IF_SYSTEM to the Build file
%  <PSL.UTIL.NEWVERSIONS>HELP.RED, 30-Nov-82 16:31, Edit by GALWAY
%   Changed "FLAG" to "SWITCH" to avoid confusion with flags on property
%   lists and to bring terminology in line with PSL manual.
%  <PSL.UTIL>HELP.RED.3,  1-Dec-82 16:16:39, Edit by BENSON
%  Added if_system(HP9836, ... )
%  <PSL.UTIL>HELP.RED.4, 10-Aug-82 00:54:26, Edit by BENSON
%  Changed ReadCh to ReadChar in DisplayHelpFile
%  <PSL.INTERP>HELP.RED.5, 31-May-82 11:50:48, Edit by GRISS
%  Make it LAPIN Help.Tbl
% Changed: to use PH:

% Display help texts, invoke interactive HELPs or print default values

% Place a HELP function on topic name under 'HelpFunction
% Or HELP file on topic name under 'HelpFile
% Or even a short string under 'HelpString (this may be removed)
