Marc,

First off, if you are planning to attend 2001 R:BASE Developers' 
Conference in October, you'll have the opportunity to attend a 
session on "Creating Your Own Help and Manuals".

... How to create Windows HLP and HTML Help Files to distribute 
with your applications ...

The same authoring tools were used to create new HELP files for 
R:Style 2000 (ver 6.5++) and R:Code 2000 (ver 6.5++), shipped 
with R:BASE 2000 (version 6.5++). 

Having said that, there are many HELP Authoring Tools out there 
to let you create your own customized HELP System and Manual. As 
long as you call it RBG.HLP, you'll have no problem when pressing 
F1 key to bring up your customized help System and Manual. 

If you want to call it something else, such as MyDream.HLP, then 
you can take advantage of the new LAUNCH command in The Glorious 
R:BASE 2000 (ver 6.5++).

Example:

In a command file or in an EEP (Push Button): 

LAUNCH MyDream.HLP

OR

LAUNCH C:\HelpFile\MyDream.HLP

There you have it ...

Very Best Regards,

Razzak.
