actually.. the gothelp rendering engine was licensed out on source code basis.. ie: if someone wanted to use the rendering engine within their own application.. we were planning on writing a hack/system extension that would allow developers to use the gothelp syntax and do something like: STRING ID 1000 "my normal help string" HEX "hSTR" ID 1000 "<f1>bold</f> help string etc.." and, then, if the hack was installed - it could pick up the different help strings automatically.. it was conceptualized :) i did implement it, just never released it. now i can replace the FrmHelp() API call on pretty much every device that is out there (OS5 included), it might be worth while looking into again :) --- Aaron Ardiri [EMAIL PROTECTED] CEO - CTO +46 70 656 1143 Mobile Wizardry http://www.mobilewizardry.com/ -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
