Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

 :hide key='name'.
 
The :hide tag starts conditional viewing of text. To view the subsequent
text, the user must set the keys environment variable to match the value
specified in name. The :ehide tag ends conditional viewing of text. You use
the :hide tag to restrict access to information in a file so that only those
who know the key can view the restricted information.
