*YH: Label directives

Each label directive identifies a point in the help text at which the help text display is to start or to which it may branch under the user’s direction. Each *YH: entry should have a label corresponding to that of a *YV: or *YI: entry (unmatched entries will be ignored). The Help text display program starts a new page for each label found.

When the help text for the label is displayed in a window, the specified label entry text is used for the title of the window. If the label is referenced in an index directive (*YI:), the text on the index directive is used in place of the text on the label. The text ‘ - Help’ is appended to the label entry text to form the window title.

Label name: must be a unique identifier up to ten characters long corresponding to an index or vector table label entry.

Label entry text: The text specified in columns 18-80 will be displayed as part of the help text. If the text has a display attribute, that is, is highlighted or underlined, then it should not start before column 19 (to allow for the display attribute byte).
