Not if you have the Tao device that came with WShell. Here is how it works. I
make the assignment:
assign HELP: tao:dh0:docs,dh1:docs,dh2:docs,dh3:docs
This assigns Help: to all these directorys, but in a more useful way than the
add option to the assign command, because I can
cd help: dir
at it will list all the files in dh0:docs, dh1:docs, etc. Assigning HELP: to
all thest directorys with
assign HELP: dh0/docs assign HELP: dh1/docs add
.
.
.
if you cd to HELP: you can only read/write to dh0:docs. The Tao device also
allows KarmaHelp see the document and subdirectorys in all these directories. I
like this as I can for instance keep the docs of all my programs in the dh1:
partitian in the dh1:docs directory, in case I am using the WB and just wish to
click the icon for doc.

HELP key support on proggy's like AP.
Been there, done that. I use control-help. I also do something else useful.
Each time I use karmahelps CX_POPUP hotkey, it reads HELPDIR and creates a new
t:master.guide. As I have LOTS of docs, this takes a few seconds. What I did
was set up a MagicCX function key macro to read t:master.guide with multiview.
Works great.
