13.14.2 Finding the Help File

The help facility reads help information from a file during execution. Users may wish to change the location of the help file to meet the configuration of their system. The helppath function was provided to allow this.

Syntax

(helppath [<help-file-name>])

If no argument is specified, the function displays the name of the current help file. If an argument is specified, the help facility will use the new file name for future help references during this CLIPS session. To change the location of the help file permanently, a change must be made in the setup.h file, then CLIPS must be recompiled. The helppath function has no return value.
