#rem
#rem  This is a very simple .txt file that illustrates the
#rem  typical form of a hypertext file. You will need to compile
#rem  this file, using the HyperHelper compiler before you'll
#rem  be able to browse through this file. To compile this .txt
#rem  file use:
#rem
#rem                       C:> hc sample
#rem
#rem  Note that the .txt extension of the filename is not used.
#rem  The compiler will translate the .txt file into a special form
#rem  that is only readable by the HyperHelper browser. This compiled
#rem  file will be called sample.htx.
#rem
#rem  Once sample.txt is compiled, you can browse through the sample.htx
#rem  file using the HyperHelper browser by typing:
#rem
#rem                       C:> hh sample
#rem
#rem  This sample hypertext deck only contains a portion of the commands
#rem  that are available in HyperHelper. However, the commands used here
#rem  are probably the ones you'll use most often. In particular, note
#rem  the usage of:
#rem
#rem          #rem              -- a comment line.
#rem          #deck title       -- declares the title of the deck.
#rem          #size             -- defines the size of all cards;
#rem                               in this case, 40 columns by 9 rows.
#rem          #center text on   -- center all text in the cards that
#rem                               follow within the window size specified
#rem                               by the #size command.
#rem          #card             -- marks the beginning of a card. Note
#rem                               the first word after "#card" is the
#rem                               internal card name and any words
#rem                               after it are external card names which
#rem                               can be used to access the card from
#rem                               the command line (See card 2) or as
#rem                               a context sensitive link in the
#rem                               memory resident version of the
#rem                               HyperHelper browser.
#rem          #end              -- marks the end of a card (optional).
#rem          #center line      -- centers the next line to the text
#rem                               in the card.
#rem          !                 -- special character which is used
#rem                               to define the links between cards.
#rem
#rem  Now here are the cards in the sample.txt deck:
#rem  ------------------------------------------------------------------
#deck title Sample HyperHelper File
#size 40 9
#center text on
#card 1
This is the first card in the deck.
It is linked to the !2!second! and
!3!third! cards.
#end ------------------------------------------------------------------
#card 2 tryme
This is the second card. It is linked
to the !3!third! card.

Try accessing this card from the
DOS prompt by typing:

#center line

#end ------------------------------------------------------------------
#card 3
This is the third card which is linked
