### Help file structure

Command `GUIPANEL` allows to associate an help file to the main window or detached menus, and command `GUIBUTTON` does the same for optional windows.

The `HELP` files format should be

          1 Description
              General help for the window or menu
          2 NAME1
              help for variable NAME1
          2 NAME2
              help for variable NAME2
          1 ENDOFHELP

where 1 and 2 are in the first column of the text file, and followed by a single space.

Clicking on the HELP button will display the complete help file in a scrolled window. Clicking in the prompt area of an input variable will display the associated variable name and the help for this variable (if it exists).
