Export help entries to a doc file (simple text file)

 Loading the INFO file we find the EXPORTHELP module

Although this module written to be used with the application of m2000.exe and m2000.dll as source code, we can use it  downloading the file and we need two lines, at top in EXPORTHELP:

DB.PROVIDER "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0"
appdir$=dir$

and a file help2000.mdb at User directory (although the appdir$ is the application directory, we just change it for the module level, to dir$ using appdir$=dir$ which make a local variable appdir$ which shadow the read only variable (which we can use at this level using @appdir$).

The DB.PROVIDER need to be 4 because by default it is 12, so we can use DB.PROVIDER as the last statement without arguments to restore to 12.

To download the help2000.mdb we have to get it from 

https://github.com/M2000Interpreter/Environment/blob/main/help2000.mdb

using your browser.

to open explorer at dir$ use this from M2000:

Win Dir$ 

To copy to clipboard the path:

Clipboard Dir$

So if all is ok you can execute EXPORTHELP and choose E for the English help or G for the Greek help.

The General.doc has 265 (Writer)/299 (Word) A4 pages and the Γενικά.doc has 225 (Writer)/255 (Word) A4 pages. The format of these files are UTF8 text.

If you don't want to make the latest, you can read these (although from M2000 we can use HELP word , or HELP ALL and then click on any word to go further):
