5.6 Customizing the Help Message Database
The Help Message utility (MSGHLP) allows users to quickly access online
descriptions of system messages from the DCL prompt. Users with write access
to Compaq-supplied .MSGHLP$DATA files can customize the Help Message
database in more radical ways than general users can. The following sections
describe how to perform the following customization tasks:
Task For More Information
Accessing $STATUS values for uninstalled messages Section 5.6.1
Creating system-level Help Message database search paths Section 5.6.2
Deleting Compaq supplied messages Section 5.6.3
Adding comments to Compaq-supplied messages Section 5.6.4
Changing text in Compaq supplied messages Section 5.6.5
Adding messages to Compaq supplied database files Section 5.6.6
Before performing these tasks, you should be familiar with the Help Message
utility. For a complete description of Help Message features, basic tasks, and
the HELP/MESSAGE command and qualifiers, refer to the OpenVMS System
Messages: Companion Guide for Help Message Users. Also refer to that manual
