Context-Sensitive Help To IBM Manuals

[ewarwoowar-git]

One really useful feature in RDi is the context sensitive help feature, whereby pressing F1 on a keyword (be it an RPG opcode, bif or keyword, or a even a DDS keyword) and have it open the relevant page in the IBM manuals in the associated offline help.

I use this all the time to refresh my memory (I'm getting old!) on opcodes and bifs as and when needed.

Granted, this would require that we have the relevant Help text object installed locally. We would also likely need IBM's permission to download the relevant Help objects (maybe that could be available in the Marketplace?) for it to work, but simply hooking into an existing copy (as shipped with RDi) would be a great start.
