                The Resource Compiler HELPSUBITEM Statement
 
HELPSUBITEM child-window-id, helppanel-id [, integer...]
 
The HELPSUBITEM statement defines the help subitems in a help subtable. This
statement, which is permitted only in a HELPSUBTABLE statement, specifies
the identifier of a child window for which help is provided, the identifier
of the help panel associated with the child window, and one or more
optional, application-defined integers.
 
You can provide any number of HELPSUBITEM statements in a HELPSUBTABLE
statement. You should provide one HELPSUBITEM statement for each child
window for which help is provided.
