I can confirm that. The new version that I uploaded yesterday has the extension ".ex" instead of ".exw", because I thought that sounds a little more generic. So PL, what happens when you run one of the following commands? exw EuHTHelp.ex open ex EuHTHelp.ex open exu EuHTHelp.ex open ( At the beginning of the file "EuHTHelp.ex", you have to enter the appropriate path/name of your browser first. ) > Its a great utility, which easily provides a great deal of functional > "help" to a number of 3rd party editors. Thanks Kenneth. I use it myself on a regular basis since Eu 2.3. And often when here were questions e.g. by newbies, I tried to provide a proper hyperlink to the official HTML help for them, by using this utiliy. It worked fine most times, and if not I improved the program accordingly. (Help for terms like "open" was already shown in the first release.) BTW: Thanks to RDS for putting all those hyperlink targets into the HTML documentation, so that it's possible to "jump" dirctly to the desired point. <snip> >> This thread started with don cole wanting .hlp or .chm rather >> than .htm lookup.
