:showKeysHelp() --> lSuccess

Description

CUA guidelines specify that the menu item "Keys help F9" should display the online help describing the key assignments for use with the application. The :showKeysHelp() method displays this help window.

The help text for this window must be in the IPF format. The numeric ID res= of the corresponding IPF tag :h1. (to :h6.) must be assigned to the instance variable :resKeysHelp before the :create()method is called in order for this help text to be displayed. Otherwise calls to :showKeysHelp() are ignored.

A standardized Help menu does not exist under Windows. Therefore, this method is not supported on Windows platforms.
