HOW DO YOU ACTIVATE THE HELP KEY ON ATARI'S ?
INFORMATION WOULD BE GREATLY APPRITIATED.

        The help key is always active.
The only way to use it, however, is by
POKE-ing its special memory location.
I believe the location is 732 (decimal).Try this little program:               
        10 H=PEEK(732)
        20 POKE 732,0
        30 POSITION 10,10
        40 PRINT H
        50 GOTO 10
Start it running, then play around with
the HELP, SHIFT, and CONTROL keys.  
Then delete line 20 and see what happens.  (You will have to BREAK out of this
program.
        Good luck!
                        Your Co-sysop
