| Action | [Statement] Sets up the application's "Help About ." dialog. |
| Scope | Usable anywhere. |
| Notes | This statement sets up the dialog that appears when the About option is selected from the Help menu. By default, Equinox displays its own dialog when this option is selected. However, if you have an Equinox Publisher Edition licence, you can override the default behaviour by checking the "Enable help about" option on the Display tab of the Software settings. You can then use the HelpAbout option to define your own copyright dialog. After the statement is executed, selecting the Help About option will cause your dialog to be displayed. The changes will remain in effect until either the application is closed, or another HelpAbout statement is executed. |

| Example | This example displays the "development donkey" from the IOSystem application (Starting with Equinox). The leading and trailing spaces are actually unnecessary, as Equinox automatically centres the lines for you - they're just there to make the code more readable. The "\" character is the Equinox continuation character, used to break up long method lines. HelpAbout "IOSystem", 30 \ |
