Thanks for the correction, Rick. I didn't know about this change. I'm not too fond of HTML Help Workshop, but I don't ask very much of it. If the choice comes down to leaving it alone or suffering through a round of brain-damaged, incompatible changes, I'll be happy to wait till the cows come home.
