Default Re: OT: html help

I suspect he means skip the .hlp files altogether and go with pure Hyper Text Markup Language - .hlp files require specific readers, and may not port well to a mac or linux box (as well as being more subject to change, due to the nature of Microsoft). While HTML still requires a reader of some form, it is a MUCH more common format, and virtually any modern platform will be able to read it. Likewise, it's been (how many years now?) since HTML came out, and HTML documents written then still display in essentially the same way as they did when they were first displayed, even though the browsers have changed.
