SrvD2000HelpPathhttps://doc.ipesoft.com/label/D2DOCVSet the location of the help by type SrvD2000HelpType.

The setup consists of 2 parts:

  1. Enter the keyword in SrvD2000HelpType   
  2. Defining the location of the help in SrvD2000HelpPath. Placements are somewhat relative, and the final path is completed according to the rules described below. The deduction depends on the type of help given by the keyword and is described in the table. The calculated path then adds references to specific help stalls. Some routes are predefined and can not be changed. Reasonable use of "relative" paths is the ability to use multilingual help depending on which language the user uses on his console and helps for different versions.
