Compile error in start menu - TADS3.1

Authoring TADS

I just added a new section of code for the startup menu that I’m using. It is the three lines below about the help text. When I compile my story, I get a warning that the word ‘showHelp’ is undefined. I do have a proper functioning ‘help’ section. I have a feeling that the ‘showHelp’ line is incorrect but can’t find the solution. Any ideas about this out there?

/* check which keyword we got */
            if ('about'.startsWith(kw))
            {
                /* they want the ABOUT information */
                versionInfo.showAbout();
            }
            else if ('help'.startsWith(kw))
            {
                /* they want the HELP information */
                versionInfo.showHelp();
            }  
            else if ('restore'.startsWith(kw))
            {
                /* try restoring a game */
                if (RestoreAction.askAndRestore())
                {
                    /* we succeeded - proceed directly to the game */
                    return 2;
                }
            }

You need to change the versionInfo.showHelp() line to point to a valid function / method.

            else if ('help'.startsWith(kw))
            {
                /* they want the HELP information */
                /* FIXME: versionInfo.showHelp() is not defined!
                versionInfo.showHelp();
                */
            }

It should point to whatever code invokes your working help section.
