/ Defining and Using Text Blocks

<End Text Block>

You can use the <End Text Block> command to mark the end of a named block of text.

<End Text Block>

DESCRIPTION

The <End Text Block> command marks the end of a text block definition. You mark the beginning of a named text block using the <Define Text Block> command. After defining a text block with the <Define Text Block> and <End Text Block> commands, you can later reference this text block in those commands that accept named text blocks as parameters. For example, the <Howdy> command requires a named text block as a parameter.

EXAMPLES

#define a text block and give it a name
<Define Text Block> "Howdy Text"
   To start, click Topics, Index, or Look For.

   Topics shows general categories, \xAC
   and Index lists key words. \xAC
   Look For lets you search for help \xAC
   according to key words you type.
<End Text Block>

#specify name of the text block that defines the Howdy text
<Howdy> "Howdy Text"
