The variable STORE_ERROR contains just one value, so you can do :HELP SR!STORE_ERROR (comment) No spaces in the arguement The variable STORE_WARN may contain more that one variable, separated by spaces. You can peel off each separate value and do :HELP SR!STORE_WARN (comment) No spaces in the arguement :HELP SR1251 ... restore encountered media restore error on ldev X :HELP SR1555 ... restore experienced an unexpected IO system error Also, inside MPEX, "%HELP phrase" often gets neat info.
