Is there a way to programmatically change a help string resource? Here's my
scenario:

I have an alert defined in PilRC like this:

ALERT ID MyAlert 
CONFIRMATION
HELPID MyDefaultHelpString
BEGIN
     TITLE "My Title"
     MESSAGE "A message ^1 containing ^2 wildcards ^3."
     BUTTONS "OK" "Cancel"
END

STRING ID MyDefaultHelpString "This is the default help."

I can customize the alert (fill in the wildcards) by calling

FrmCustomAlert(MyAlert, s1, s2, s3);

where s1, s2, and s3 are strings.

But what if I want to change the help string, too? Is there any way of
directly editing MyDefaultHelpString? Alternatively, can I create another
string resource like

STRING ID MyOtherHelpString "This is the other help."

and programatically tell the alert to use MyOtherHelpString instead of
MyDefaultHelpString?

I can't find anything about this in the usual books and online docs. Is
there some trick that someone has come up with, or am I trying to do the
impossible?

Thanks,
Jay
