>I have help files that someone created for me in DoctoHelp 4.0. Now I am at a loss as to what to do with them. I noticed in the tastrade example that the contents menu option has Bar# and _mst_help. But I can't seem to get my help files to come up. Would I issue set help to my.hlp in my main program and then just issue the command "help" when they select that option from the menu?

You might simple try SET HELP TO XXXXXX.HLP as long as the DoctoHelp 4.0 creates a windows based help file this should be sufficient. Also use SET HELP TO when you want to go back to the FoxPro default menu.
