Two comments:
(1) On line docs are good as long as they don't cause some weird slowing effect
on this memory intensive app.
(2) I work alot in the Foxpro world. You should check out how MS does the
online help there. By the way MS cannot claim credit for that design since Fox
Software was using that design before MS bought them out. I have found it very
good and fast. The way they use the index search in a clean manner. One really
cool thing is they provide in Foxpro a way in which 3rd party apps can create
their own help screens that look and feel like the FP help.
(3) One more thought. It would be really cool if 3DS allowed the inclusion of
IPAS routines to append their help info transparently into 3DS existing index.
