Jack,

I've been focusing instead on making it possible to emboss the online help.
It does appear that nobody has tried that; for, if you had, you'd find that
it hasn't been working.  It will be working for beta 4.

And fine help files they are. I think it would be good for the on-line help
to be put in a series of .dxp files to compliment the .chm files. Don thinks
Windows perhaps even 98 ships with a utility to convert .chm to html files,
which could then be saved as text. In my experience, having both
downloadable and on-line help do rather compliment each other.  The problem
with the on-line help, and no reflection on George, is acidentally exitting
the help program and trying to find my place again. I'm thinking this
shouldn't be difficult as the end result has to be compiled into .chm files.

Thanks
Jack
