          HELPMAKE /V /E /OMY.HLP MY.SRC > MY.LOG
 
     The example above runs HELPMAKE with the /V, /E, and /O options.
     MY.SRC is the source file, and MY.HLP is the created database
     file. The /E option causes maximum compression. The /V option
     causes verbose output. Note that the DOS redirection symbol (>)
     sends a log of HELPMAKE activity to the file MY.LOG. You may find
     it helpful to redirect the log file, because in verbose mode,
     HELPMAKE can generate a lengthy log.
 
          HELPMAKE /V /D /OMY.SRC MY.HLP > MY.LOG
 
     This example runs HELPMAKE to decode the help database MY.HLP to
     the source file MY.SRC. Once again, the /V option results in
     verbose output, directed to the log file MY.LOG.
