#D This module (package) deals with providing help information
#D about the \CONTEXT\ commands. The data needed is derived
#D from the setup files by \CONTEXT\ itself. The data is
#D stored in files with suffix \type {tws} (tex work setup). 
#D This module introduces some subroutines: 
#D 
#D \starttabulatie[|Tl|p|]
#D \NC \type {set\_setup\_interface}   \NC sets the primary interface 
#D                                     to search in \NC \NR 
#D \NC \type {set\_setup\_title}       \NC sets the title of the main 
#D                                     window title \NC \NR 
#D \NC \type {setups\_found}           \NC locate the \type {tws} files 
#D                                     using the \type {kpsewhich}

#D \NC \type {show\_setups}            \NC allocate the radio buttons

#D \NC \type {load\_setups}            \NC all found command files can

#D \NC \type {change\_setup}           \NC we can manually set the

#D Setups are organized in files called \type {*.tws} and
#D alike. Several files can be loaded simultaneously. When
#D loading, we grab whole paragraphs. The variables and values
#D belonging to a command, are stored in the hash table \type
#D {setups}, one per language. The command templates are
#D stored in \type {commands}. 
#D 
#D A \type {tws} file is generated by \CONTEXT\ from the setup
#D definition files. Only \CONTEXT\ knows the current meaning
#D of commands and keywords. The files are generating by
#D simply saying something like: 
#D 
#D \starttypen
#D texexec  --interface=en  setupd  
#D texexec  --interface=de  setupd  
#D texexec  --interface=nl  setupd  
#D texexec  --interface=cz  setupd  
#D texexec  --interface=it  setupd  
#D \stoptypen 
#D 
#D This results in files formatted as: 
#D 
#D \starttypen 
#D startsetup
#D com:setupcolors
#D typ:vars/
#D var:state:start,stop,global,local:
#D var:conversion:yes,no,always:
#D var:reduction:yes,no:
#D var:rgb:yes,no:
#D var:cmyk:yes,no:
#D stopsetup
#D \stoptypen
#D
#D This format can be stored rather efficient and parsed rather
#D fast. What more do we need.
