I would like to add a Help button to my menu to show multiple line of help text.
Is there a standard way for showing help or should I use MenuPlugin::GetHelp() for this?
I am not sure how to use this function.
Can anyone explain?

Assuming you have a dialog box for your plugin, and that it has a menu in it, you can just respond to the menu item the user selects like this:
plugin_gui::Command(id, msg) { switch(id) { case WHATEVER_THE_MENU_ID_IS_HERE: // show a simple help box var strHelp; strHelp = "Using this plugin\n\n"; strHelp += "A line of text goes here\n"; strHelp += "with another line of text here\n"; strHelp += "And another here, and so on\n"; // show a text box TextDialog(strHelp, DLG_ICONASTERISK | DLG_OK); break; case WHATEVER_THE_NEXT_MENU_ID_IS: // show the main help file as a pdf var file; file = GeGetRootFilename(); if (!file) return; file->RemoveLast(); file->AddLast("myplugin.pdf"); GeExecuteFile(file); // load the pdf break; } }Hope that helps.
