Subject: SMGR HELP running under V 7.3

Help within SMGR was unbenownst to us a non-starter running under V7.  This
update partially fixes this.   There were (are) three problems:

1. The applhelp.p was presuming it was still being run from smgrmenu.p, which
is the V6 menu.  Alas, this is not used in V7 and shared variables it creates
are not available.  So, we are introducing two more sources:
	applhlp7.p -> rename/copy this to applhelp.p if you are running V7.

This expects to find a file in xsrc/inc/trb4help.i, which you must create. 
It can be empty. 

2. There is quirk in Proto which makes the applhelp inaccessible whilst in 
one of our strip menus.  We have discusses this with John Harlow at USI, 
which is the developer of the Proto screen designer used to generate much 
of the SMGR UI Code.   We hope to have a fix for that soon.   In the 
meantime, if you make sure there is a file named "applhelp.p" SOMEWHERE in 
the PROPATH it will work.   

3. If the SMGR applhelp is found first in the PROPATH, access to your 
application's help is not possible.   Therefore, this version of applhlp7.p
adds a last option, wherein it calls whatever code is contained in
	inc/trapphlp.p

This is available as upd13.tar, let us know if you want it set up for download.

The actual code correction is in:
	update 13 containing:
		applhlp7.p 1.1
		inc/trapphlp.p 1.2

You can obtain this update by calling our system:
