The J Windows help depends on the file assocation of htm to the default browser. Perhaps this is not set on your system.

The Help menu tries to start help as follows:

wd'winexec "cmd /c c:\j64-602\help\index.htm" sw_hide'

This assumes you have installed J in c:\j64-602 as indicated in your message.

Try the above sentence in your J session. Presumably it fails as this is what should be run when you click a Help menu iten.

Start a Dos prompt window and try command (you don't need cmd /c):

...> c:\j64-602\help\index.htm

Presumably this fails as well. If so it indicates your system doesn't have a file assocation for htm.

In your Dos window you can check this with the following:

...> assoc .htm
.htm=htmlfile             - 'normal' result
...> ftype htmlfile
htmlfile="C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet er\iexplore.exe" -nohome - somthing like this

Don't know why the assocciation wouldn't be set up on your system. There are some registry issues here. You could run Internet Explorer and select Tools|Internet Options|Programs and click Make Default. This may fix the problem.

Following a normal installation I have not been able to access the HELP
facility from the J.

Only "About J" is accessible.



I also note that there is no "addons" directory in   \J64-602
