>I would like to launch my application as usual, but on the start up also launch the text file help in a notepad window from the form. The window should ideally be independant of the main foxpro window because the application window is small and also because the user needs to switch between the application and the help. In effect have the application and the help as seperate menu bar items....

Instead of opening in Notepad, you can use the user's default application for TXT files. See FAQ#8134.
