Adding your own documentation

Top  Previous  Next

Users can augment the help menus by adding their own materials.  In my classes I include a number of items under the choice mccarl and gamspdf we include the total mix of files composing this document.  But users can add their own files (generally pdf or Html) that will appear on the help command (as in the mccarl entry above).  Generally it is recommended that one put the additions in a subdirectory so the menu remains short.  These are placed in the docs subdirectory under the GAMS system directory (Nominally in c:\program files\gams22.7\docs).  In turn when one accesses help under the docs choice one gets a list of all the files placed therein.
