G'day,
Happy to report the Help file system works great, tested so far on RP2350HDMI and RP2040 with ILI9488 LCD using a modified version of Electricat's Help.txt file, many thanks Electricat for the template
After some editing, my version is down to approx 40kb, this is by grouping some commands together (framebuffer / peek / poke / setpin) removing PIO (don't understand yet) and Wii / Gamepad (don't use) but with the bit / byte / flag commands added, as well as stuff I always forget (alignment in text etc).
I may have this wrong, but the concern about the size of the Help.txt file seems unwarranted, simply don't install it or delete it if you need the room on A:
To add another 2c, perhaps the best scenario would be:
Full help file with expanded explanations (like manual) for beginners, they are less likely to need a lot of space on A: anyway
Short help file with command references only for more seasoned users.
Then customise either to suit your needs, the system is flexible
Regards,
Lyle.
