HM_INFORM
idPanel = (USHORT) SHORT1FROMMP(mp1);    /* help-panel ID */
 
The HM_INFORM message notifies an application that the user has chosen a
hypertext field in the help window.
 
Parameter  Description
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
 
idPanel    Low word of mp1. Specifies the help-panel ID associated with the
           hypertext field.
 
Return Value
 
An application should return zero if it processes this message.
 
Comments
 
The system sends an HM_INFORM message only if the corresponding hypertext
field was created using the :inform tag. The value of the idPanel parameter
is the number specified with the tag. This is usually a help-panel ID, but
it can be any number. When an application receives the HM_INFORM message, it
can carry out any action; however, after the application returns from the
message, the system displays the corresponding help panel if one exists.
