Discussion

U_HELPREND sets the renditions of the window specified by window_id to the help window renditions. The default help window renditions can be set in U_REND using the following rendition codes.

D_RND_HLP_BCK	Help window background.
D_RND_HLP_BDR	Help window border.
D_RND_HLP_TTL	Help window title.

You also can use U_EDITREND or Proto to set these renditions.

You can use U_HELPREND within your EHELP_METHOD subroutine to change the window’s renditions before it is placed on the screen.
