1. Summary
This program is a simple utility for seeing OPL reference database which is
distributed by the Symbian. The OPL reference database is a Psion's help file
that contains explanations of OPL statements, OPX functions, constants, and
so on. It is very useful but it cannot open by pressing [Fn]+[,] key from the
"Program" application.
There distributed another utitlity by the Symbian to open this database named
"OPL Manual". This is an application that opens the OPL reference database by
tapping the icon on the "Extras" bar. It looks a little convinient. But it
opens a new window of the "Help" database each time you tap the icon of this
application. Therefore you spend much memory for a lot of "Help" windows.
This "OPLHelp" program has improved feture about opening a window that opens
only one window of the OPL reference database.
