Rather tedious. I give you some hints. The HINT method of the Statusline is
asked anytime the current helpcontext changes to return a help string. If you
setup the menubar with help context numbers, the Hint can return helpstrings.

Switch to graphics mode and switch back. Should be no problem.

I have the specs, but as you are on internet I do not know how to send them to
you. Do you have a modem?
