Using HelpPC
HelpPC has two modes of operation. The first is the Prompted
Mode where you specify the topic on the command line and HelpPC
prompts you for topics until you exit. The second is the Menu
Mode which as its name implies is menu driven. To use the Menu
Mode just omit the topic from the command line. You may switch
between Menu mode and Prompted Mode with the F1 key.
