!AWOct93/Goodies/Disc/!Info/!Help
This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.
Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

File contents
Program : !Info
Purpose : To illustrate the use of TaskExec files.
Usage : Double click the application and a directory window will
open containing several directories.
Each of these directories contains a set of TaskExec files of
the form
Basic
HELP <BASIC keyword>
When such a file is double-clicked a taskwindow is opened
(it is after all a TaskExec file) and BASIC is entered and then
the HELP line is typed at the BASIC keyword so producing the
computer's stored HELP message.
The Task Window can be closed by clicking on its close box
in the usual way.
