HELPSTRINGS!!!

how do I get the cryptic helpstring ID's to auto create themselves? they
are not something that I've generated and behave on their own as far as I
can tell. I have a few menu items that did not self create an ID.

TIA,
Jim

Auto-create?
I always had to add them to my menus manually.

***HELPSTRINGS
ID_COMMANDID1 [This command does this.]
ID_COMMANDID2 [This command does that.]

not so they can create themselves , I think when you attempt to customize
the buttons (if there are any ) for that menu.

You are talking about toolbars?
If you pull a standard button, and add it to a new toolbar, it will have the
command and proper help string already assigned.
If you start from scratch, (a blank button) you will have to assign the help
string yourself.

You'll have to assign the helpstring text when creating a new toolbar, but
it automatically puts the correct helpstring ID and the text in the menu
files when doing so.
