  !NoMenu:  - Create a Help File with No Menu Definitions

    Purpose
    The !nomenu: command lets you create a help file without menus.

    Format:
           !NoMenu: Filename.EHO                                        

    Description
         Lets you create a help file that has no menu definitions.
         !Nomenu: Specifies a single compiled short topic list that
         is to be linked and made into a help file. The short topic
         list can point to many other files via the !file: command.
         A single long entry could be used, but since there would be
         no list of short topics, you would only be able to pop-up/down
         the EH Display Window with the Hot-Key or <F10>.
         
         The !NoMenu: <filename.eho> acts like a table of contents for the
         overall help file. With the use of character attributes you can
         create a very effective "table of content" look.

  Example of a !nomenu: table of contents design.

    Note:
         !NoMenu: must be specified before any !Menu: commands. When the
         linker encounters a !NoMenu: command it stops reading the rest of
         the link file and starts creating the help file. Because of this
         you can have you !Menu: structure defined below it without a
         need to comment it out with the ' character. When you want to
         do a full compile, simply place a ' character in front of the
         !NoMenu: command. It will then be treated as a comment line.
