This is the DOS program of an AUTOGENERATING HELPFILE.
It is possible to translate this to a PC-DOS program.
What this does is making a backup from the unnamed.txt file
if it exist. Then it types one rule in the unnamed.txt file
where after You can add new rules. If You press escape or
try to leave the program before it is saved, the ATARI
PORTFOLIO will ask You to save it. Of course You do and
after saving the program restores the unnamed.txt backup
and the next time You start this program the editor opens
on the spot You initalized the saving. You might call it
autoexec.bat, that is something to decide for Yourself.
There belong 3 textfiles to this: HLP1. HLP2. HLP3.
