The name of a panel providing help for a message is based on the name of the message it explains. Figure 1 shows how help panels for messages are named.

The two characters in the name of the message that indicate the function to which the message belongs become the last two characters in the name of the message help panel. The last three characters in the message name become the fourth, fifth, and sixth characters in the name of the message help panel.

On occasion, the help for a message can require two or three panels. The name of the second help panel is based on the name of the first help panel and the name of the third help panel is based on the name of the second help panel, as shown in Figure 2.
