    This knowledge is almost certainly of no interest to anybody but myself,

    (Before anyone on comp.os.cpm asks, BasHelp uses PCW-specific code to
    read the text onscreen and to check for its hotkey, so can't be used on any other CP/M system).

    Hi John,

    You're probably aware that there were a few PCW users over on the CPCWiki, unsure if their aware of your program.
