My Variable RichEdit Demo program (http://www.rbasecommunity.com/ Item #10) uses the concept of creating a help system that can be toggled on and off.
Start the Demo and Select the RichHelpDemo button to show the form that has help enabled. The Variable RichEditor is used to create the Help for each component... There is a fair amount of other useful code in there as well.. ----- Original Message ----- From: "David M.
