When BrailleBlaster is placed in Program files on Windows, none of the help documents in the help menu can be accessed. The problem occurs in the UserHelp class in the wordprocessor subpackage. It is in the showHelp method and happens when the java.net.URI class is instantiated. It appears to be because of the space in Program files. The string passed to the URI constructor is in a special format and canot be enclosed in quotation marks. Suggestions on how to deal with this problem will be apreciated. John -- John J.
