Hi,
To Transfer the Edsharp help file to a .txt file, this
is what I did:
1) go to the window (a web browser) which contains the help documentation.
This is accomplished by typing alt-h to put you in the help menu, and select
the line called documentation.
2) Press control-a to select the full text of the documentation.
3) press control-c to copy the document.
4) Open a file in Edsharp by pressing control-n.
5) Press control-v to paste the documentation into the blank document.
6) Save the file with an appropriate and ending in ".txt".

Hi Alex,
Thanks for that. It works like a charm.
That was one of the problems I had with Python previously.
Also, I should have checked the installed docs.
Thanks.

If you run the script in a terminal, simply pipe them:
python myHelpScript.py > myOutputFile.txt
The > (greater-than) tells everything the console would normally print to be
written to the text file instead. This file will appear in the current
directory, or be overwritten if it already exists.

Hi All,
I wonder if there's a way to redirect the output of the help() commands to a
text file?
I would rather read the help in a text file.
Thanks.
