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documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

 :spot id=label.
 
The :spot tag marks a place in the document, other than a heading or
footnote, and permits the spot to be referenced using the :spotref tag. The
tag is used to provide access to a help panel by using a label associated
with a heading or footnote label.
 
Parameter  Description
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
 
id         Identifies the spot label. The label value can be a combination
           of letters and digits, but it must be unique (that is, no other
           spot may have the same label). The spot label can be used in a
           spot reference to identify the spot and display the help panel
           containing the corresponding text.
 
Example
 
This example uses the :spot tag to create an alternate label for a help
panel:
 
    :h1 id=cpy.Copy
    :spot id=combine.
    The :hp2.Copy:ehp2. command copies files. It can
    also be used to combine two or more files.
