If you use the MS DOS version, you need to specify the screen mode numbers valid for you video card in SCREEN_MODES. Otherwise, this command will not work.

Invoke external help

Action    name: ExternalHelp

The HELPFILE parameter in IDATUI.CFG/IDAGUI.CFG points to the help file name.

This command displays the current keyboard layout.

You can change the layout in the configuration file

This command is available in the text version only.
