for the HELP utility, and the buffer for writing the help information.

quotes. If you specify only a filename, the HELP utility
looks for a file in SYS$HELP with the file type .HLB.

keyword Specifies whether the prompting mode for the library is ON
or OFF.
buffer The buffer for writing the information.
Example
HELP_TEXT ("tpuhelp", (READ_LINE("Topic: ")), OFF, help_buffer)

called SYS$HELP:TPUHELP.HLB. The information is written to the help
buffer.
