Can you still even buy The Programmers Helper or Wizard? Both were awesome tools at the time...
I came across documentation while cleaning out old file from both products from work I did in the early 90s --- I stopped to ponder if either still was around in light of the SB+s and VB/Java clients now -- then proceeded to chuck the 8" stack of paper...

However, one good thing about it, is it does allow you to insert straight code in sections, sort of like includes. So for example AFTER entry of the field you can insert whatever straight line code you want to validate it, if the validation TPH's allows don't suit your needs. TPH has a number of places where you can insert your own code. I didn't find an example of where I needed to replace a TPH screen/function with my own entirely.
