Installing STExport
STExport is installed as part of the Suprtool installation process. See the "Installing
Suprtool" chapter of the Suprtool User Manual for more details on how to install both Suprtool and STExport.
Built-In File Names
STExport requires an external file for the Help command. STExport dynamically changes this file name, but you can use a :File command to override STExport's choice.
Default File Names
If you are running STExport on MPE V/E or MPE/iX, STExport finds the name of the STExport program file name (e.g., stexport.Pub.Robelle). STExport uses this name to determine the name of the other built-in file names. If STExport cannot call

Welcome to STExport • 291
292 • Welcome to STExport the procinfo intrinsic (e.g., this intrinsic doesn't exist on MPE V/R), it assumes you are running stexport.Pub.Robelle.
Account Name
The account name for all built-in files is the same as the one where STExport is running (e.g., if you :run stexport.Pub.Dev, the help file for STExport is stexport.Help.Dev).
Group Name
STExport examines the group name where STExport is running to determine the group name for the built-in file names. If the group name is Pub, STExport assumes help files are in the Help group. The same assumption is made for any group name where the first three letters are not Pub. When STExport is run from a group that starts with Pub (e.g., Pub), STExport assumes the help files have the same suffix
(e.g., help).
Examples
Here are a few examples of the names that STExport would use for the STExport help file:
STExport Program File Name STExport Help File Name
stexport.Pub.Robelle stexport.Pub.Robelle stexport.Pub.Account stexport.PubRob.Account stexport.Robelle.Dist stexport.Help.Robelle stexport.Help.Robelle stexport.Help.Account stexport.HelpRob.Account stexport.Help.Dist
Changing Built-In File Names
You can use a :File command to tell STExport where the help file is located. Your
:File command must use the file name that STExport dynamically assigned to the help file. For example, if STExport is called STExport.Robelle.Dist, you would use this :File command:
:file stexport.help.dist=stephelp.robelle.dist
