[Gimp-user] Need help with help

2008-02-12 Thread edward storm
Although I am able to make progress in Peck's Beginning GIMP I have  
not been able to access or use
the Gimp help files.   When I click on Help in The Gimp
I get nothing.  In my root directory (Leopard) in addition to  
Macintosh HD and Network I have Gimp, help,
Gimp-2.4.3-080109-Leopard-Intel.  This is what I have
just after downloading Gimp-2.4.4... from Wilbur Loves
Apple.

Why does it still say Gimp-2.4.3... when I have
downloaded Gimp-2.4.4...?

How can I get access to and use The Gimp's help files?  I can't  
access the Gimp Manual either,  from
inside The Gimp.

I am a very raw novice at modern computing,  but
with considerable experience with the old-fashioned
computing - Pascal, C, Lisp, Scheme and some UNIX.  If you're going to  
try to help me please be very explicit
and exact.  I still don't get it and need all the help
I can get.

Thanks

1. You should probably uninstall gimp 2.4.3 and then reinstall 2.4.4.
2. Gimp help is another download and install.

I'm not familiar with Mac's and how they load software, so I can't
really be more specific about this.

Good luck,

Jim

I would suggest to ask this on the wilder-loves-apple Forum. Since  
they did the packaging, they should know how to fix this issue.
