in anything, from notepad.exe to FrontPage to HAL9000, which will probably include writing some of it in VFP itself. I'll keep my basic help texts in .mnx and .scx User fields, and generate all the necessary files from VFP. The graphical part will be a nuisance, though. In the end it will be compiled with HHWS, succesfully, I hope.

Typical of M$. They always think that the ability to click for something is an improvement; most of the time, I think it would better be able to do things automatically, you know, just like on a computer.
> You've lost me on using VFP to make help files, though.
Well, HTML is just text file, therefore we may be able to create VFP tools to generate the HTML wrapping around normal text and put it into a file... actually I meant writing some kind of a HTML editor in VFP :). The "normal text" is something you may keep in memos in some table(s). That's what I do for myself (not yet HH compatible HTML, though).
>>You should actually look for the help example somewhere in the Solutions. I have hardly found it - it didn't install for itself, it was in a separate .zip somewhere on my CD.

Sorry, wasn't too clear (having a just cause to blame M$ for raises my adrenaline). VFP6 Beta...

>I know about hotspots, but that's not what I mean. Although that would be close to what I want if it would come up in a small frame. What I want is hover-activated text. I know you can make an image have something come up in the little yellow box when you hover over it, but you can only do one per image. I'd like to have different text in different parts of the image.
...hmmm, something like region-sensitive tooltips? Sounds interesting, if I only had a clue how to do it in HTML. Or..., hey, HTML gurus: can a map have a separate tooltip for each region, and can it span few lines? This could be nice.
