Customizing Help:

Each help topic, this one included, is stored as a Rich Text Format (RTF) file within the Schematik.app package, in the directory Schematik.app/English.lproj/Help (if you have a language preference other than English, the directory might be instead Schematik.app/German.lproj/Hilfe for example).  The location of Schematik.app itself is installation dependent; a typical choice would be to put it in /LocalApps.  In that case, this topic, e.g., would be in /LocalApps/Schematik.app/English.lproj/Help/Customizing Help.rtf

You can change the help provided for a topic by editing the corresponding file using Edit, or you can add or delete topics at will by adding or deleting files from the Help directory.  The Schematik help browser will list one topic for each .rtf file in the Help directory.  Be sure to use the Make Rich Text command in Edit for any new help file you create, in order that a RTF file will result.

If you do improve or add to the help files, or translate them to another language, we would appreciate getting a copy so that other users can benefit from your work.  Please send anything you write to schematik@gac.edu.

Note that write permission is necessary to do the sort of customization described here.  Therefore, normal users may not be able to customize Schematik's help if it is installed in a system-wide directory without intervention by the system administrator.
