Description

The requesting object (Obj) has requested keyword or ID help. It is up to the requesting object to determine what kind of context it wants to use. This context is obtained by calling the Function help_context in the requesting object. If help_context returns a number, it will be used for context-ID help. If a string is returned, it will be used for keyword help. Because of this message's flexibility, it is usually used instead of view_context_keyword_help or view_context_ID_help.

If the context value is an ID, it will be converted to a Windows ID by calling the function system_help_context_ID.
