>> I'm curious. I've never heard of HELP format; what is it?

Ok, since I was the one that made the initial statement....

I didn't mean to use HELP so generically. I did mean the WinHelp format.
Something that CodeWarrior on the PC could utilize. I'm not sure what CW on
the Mac uses as it's help format.

I didn't mean to ignore Mac platforms. So, as has been stated, I also agree
that providing the help in a more open standard (such as HTML), would be
great. There are plenty of tools available for parsing HTML into WinHelp
format, etc (or maybe even QuickHelp?  on the Mac). The PDF format seems not
so open, and I'm not sure, but even proprietary?

In my opinion, I'm all for leaving the "Companion", "CookBook" and
"Tutorials" in PDF, but the "Reference" should be made into something that
is more geared toward lookups/searches from IDE's and code editors on all
platforms.
