docbook seems to be the format expected by the kde help thingy. you need to have the files in the right place for your system though. I suggest you have a poke around in the system and find where the other kde help files are, on my system (gentoo) it is /usr/share/doc/HTML/en/ move those files installed in /usr/local/kde/doc/HTML/en/kxstitch to where ever your system expects them (in mine it would be /usr/share/doc/HTML/en/kxstitch - probably the best way to find out is to look where a well behaved mandrake packaged kde program puts them - something like rpm -ql (name of some package whose help files appear ok in khelpcenter)|grep HTML shuld give a clue then pressing f1 in kxstitch should start khelpcentre with the correct file opened! BTW it crashes on right click on my system too - definitely one for the developer i would say. > > I installed into Mandrake10 > > How do I correct these problems please > > Barry > >
