+# must pass an ordered list of tag/item/help triplets on the command-line. When

+# This function allows you to dereference the tag chosen by the user back into
+# the help associated with said tag (item is discarded/ignored).
+#
+# Pass the tag chosen by the user as the first argument, followed by the
+# ordered list of tag/item/help triplets (HINT: use the same tag/item/help list
+# as was passed to dialog(1) for consistency).
+#
+# If the tag cannot be found, NULL is returned.
