Steve, My sentiments exactly. While I cherish and fight to protect the flexibility of the Amiga as compared with other systems, I do see the value in maintaining consistency with the implementation of built-in functions, especially if they can be made to be user definable/replacable, and easily implemented by the programmer. I agree fully that pressure by the customers would virtually ensure that virtually all commercial programs would offer some degree of context sensitive help, were the facility to exist. Of course I would definitely caution the help file authors to carefully check their spelling. 🙂 -larry
