User defined Help

There is a simple Help function in PQL. Specify the name of an html file to the function. The name can contain directory names using forward slashes to delimit. Either the file is in the SIR help directory (or below in the named directory) or specify the name starting with the word 'file' and a full path or even an internet address. Specify the name without the .htm suffix. e.g.
compute x = help('myhelp')
compute x = help ('visualpql/function/foreword')
compute x = help("file: http://www.sir.com.au/sirxs")
You might like to copy the top and bottom of one of the SIR help files as a start template for your own files to maintain a standard 'look and feel'.
