Body
The platform is windows xp x86. I want to write a function, like <code>pop_up_instruction()</code>, when call it, there should be a popup dialog or notepad or command-line or whatever else to print a block of instruction on it. the instruction contains "\r\n", like such: <pre><code>Explorer [/n] [/e] [(,)/root,<object>] [/select,<object>] /n Opens a new single-pane window for the default selection. This is usually the root of the drive Windows is installed on. If the window is already open, a duplicate opens. /e Opens Windows Explorer in its default view. /root,<object> Opens a window view of the specified object. /select,<object> Opens a window view with the specified folder, file or application selected. </code></pre> I wrote a function to convert the above string into a vb-string, and print it to a vbs file and call this vbs file using system(the_vbs_file), the_vbs_file content: <pre><code> MsgBox "Explorer [/n] [/e] [(,)/root,<object>] [/select,<object>]" & vbCrLf & _ "" & vbCrLf & _ "/n Opens a new single-pane window for the default" & vbCrLf & _ " selection. This is usually the root of the drive Windows" & vbCrLf & _ " is installed on. If the window is already open, a" & vbCrLf & _ " duplicate opens." & vbCrLf & _ "/e Opens Windows Explorer in its default view." & vbCrLf & _ "/root,<object> Opens a window view of the specified object." & vbCrLf & _ "/select,<object> Opens a window view with the specified folder, file or" & vbCrLf & _ " application selected." & vbCrLf & _ "" </code></pre> Do we have other better way?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
