>You do have to stick your .guide and any other docs you want in a single >directory that Karma looks …. 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. >One suggestion: Change the default hotkey to something else or you will >lose 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. ._ _ _ INTERNET: mshea@math.arizona.edu | | |ichael _>hea COMPUSERVE: 76665,3360
