Thank you Hartmut.  That’s a nice option too.

Subject: [RBASE-L] - Re: Creating a simple HELP System For an Application

Hi Claudine, I use in my apps a help system consisting of HTML files. I have a 
table 'sthelp' with the fields 'hlang' (TEXT 5 for the language), 'hname' (TEXT 
6 for the app name), 'hnr' (INTE as number), 'hurl' (TEXT 22 with the URL). All 
URLs are stored here.
Then I have a form 'webda' with 2 fields: 'VAR EDIT vurl' to the input (or from 
the app set) and 'DB Webbrowser'. In the menus I have "?" Items. For critical 
code, the help with explanations comes automatically.

Hi all!

This question is even hard to pose as there are probably as many ways to do 
this as there are folks who maintain applications.

Basically, I want to replace myself as the recipient of simple questions on how 
to do things within the available menus.  Nothing as sophisticated as R:BASE’s 
application HELP files so perhaps even small enough to include in the 
application.  I could see doing this in Word with pictures of menus and such 
but that’s not a file option I can use in my cloud installation. And I’m 
contemplating more of a general description than step-by-step explanations.

Ideas galore welcome!

Claudine
