Hi Marc & David,
In your RBase.INI change the content of:
HelpPath=[drive]:\[path]
to the location of your new xxxx.hlp file
You can create your [xxx.hlp] help file with a program such as Help
Scribble
http://www.ping.be/jg/
Once you change your .INI and you have install the .hlp file in the
directory shown in the .INI file next time you press [F1] your help file
will open instead of RBase Help system.
Good Luck,
Manuel
