Help hypergraphics
Hypergraphics are special graphics within Help files
that contain "hot spots". Hot spots are either pop-up
topics or jumps. Hypergraphics in Elixir Help are most
commonly dialog boxes with option hot spots (pop-up
definitions), toolboxes with tool hot spots (topic
jumps), and menus with option hot spots (topic jumps
or pop-up definitions).
Move the cursor over a hypergraphic until a hand dis-
plays, then click on this hot spot to display a pop-up
topic, or a "jump". To close a pop-up topic, click the
mouse button. To return to the original Help topic
from a jump, click on <Back> in the Help file menu.
