Apopuli.160 net.cms utzoo!decvax!ucbvax!G:cliff Sat Apr 24 10:50:18 1982 Help for HELP(?) Cliff again. At the last SHARE conference (Los Angeles) there was a meeting of people interested improving CMS HELP. As you can well imagine there were a lot of ideas. A friend of mine at UC San Francisco volunteered to compile suggestions for ideas which may become requirements and get presented to IBM. Everyone agreed that there should be online help for the product error messages, like the "IHO218I YOUR PROGRAM HAS A BUG" Fortran ones. Everyone also agreed that CMS HELP's way of dealing with ASCII terminals is nothing short of criminal... Anyway, if you want to send me your suggestions, I can forward them to my friend since our 4341's are networked together.
