Extension of an instruction

Extension of an instruction
An instruction contains descriptive texts, e.g., "G0/Linear interpolation with rapid traverse".
An instruction is assigned to a topic via the topic ID.
Parameters of instruction definition
An instruction definition contains the following parameters:
Technology/topic ID/extended help/instruction text/descriptive text
Example of editor help:
a/20/"PGA.PDF",2,"="/=/Assignment operator
a: Milling
20: Standard cycles
"PGA.PDF",2,"=":
=:
Assignment operator:
If the above line is entered in one of the user text files (e.g., IFM_GR.COM), help file
"PGA.PDF" is called up for the command "=" and the relevant help section is displayed.
Example of cycle help:
m/14/"PGZ.PDF",302,"CYCLE83"/CYCLE83/Deep-hole drilling milling
cycle
m: Milling
14: Standard cycles
"PGZ.PDF",302,"RTP":
parameterization screenform
CYCLE83:
Deep-hole drilling milling cycle:
If the above line is entered in one of the user text files, user cycle "CYCLExx" is supported
by the help system. It is displayed if
• either technology-independent code "a"
• or miller-specific code "m" has been entered in initialization file "IF.INI".
It is assigned to "Standard cycles" via topic ID "14" and can, therefore, also be found via the
corresponding entry in the topic search.
The last parameter contains the descriptive text, which is displayed in the relevant column of
the help system, and which is designed to give the user an initial indication as to the function
of the cycle.
The "/" character separates the parameters and may only be used as a text character in the
last parameter.
