Michael, I just had a go at trying the AmigaGuide feature of my HotHelp installation with following results: 1) HotHelp 3 displays AmigaGuide files alright, BUT they have to be entered into the "project list" using the HotHelpProject tool. 2) Where AmigaGuide (or MultiView) have pushbuttons for keywords which react on a single click, HotHelp shows them as text in another colour (rather like Windoze Help) which needs double-clicking. 3) A "special" version of hothelp.library (similar to AmigaGuide.library, only better) is freely distributable which enables software authors to incorporate HotHelp functionality into their programs and distribute them freely. 4) I don't know whether or not the HotHelpProject tool is freely distributable but I'll try and ask Maxon tomorrow. (Also whether there's an English version available as my version of HotHelp is all in German…). Cheers, // Christian "ELP" Busse \X/ near Frankfurt, Germany
