menu function & help

[Richard Kreiss]

Well I tried on more thing regarding the help file.

I found that one can mix "headings" on one line.

##S1,scr_menu  will work.  Pressing F1 on screen 1 brings up the help
information.

Pressing ? on the menu created in processing which executes HELP "scr_menu"
also works.

It appears that one can mix both screen specific help as well as section
help to be called in processing.  This eliminates possible duplication of
the same help to be used in IUA and in processing.
