Jeff,

On a P2-300, 64 meg the first launch of the html help engine loads in about 8 seconds. Closing it and issuing another help in VFP gets there in under 2 seconds.

>Just to do a performance test on this new help system I typed HELP TABLEUPDATE in the command window to bring up the context-sensitive help for the TABLEUPDATE command. It took 35 seconds! The only acceptable answer to this sluggy response time I can see is to leave the bloody thing open during my entire VFP session.
