My client wants some help functionality from an old DOS system used in the new visual application. The way the old system works is that they have context sensitive help that pops-up a memo field which, depending on their security level, they can modify. I see the advantage to the client in that they have a flexible help system, but I'm thinking that there must be a cleaner way to do it than linking each relevant object to a memo field. I checked out the help system at StoneField and while it's really cool and I'll probably get it for my other development, I don't believe it has the ability for the user to modify the content on the fly. Anyone have any ideas (on this specifically and application help in general)? Thanks!

Regards, Renoir
