How To Install MS-Windows HELP (.HLP) Files: R. Heath 5/27/94
Most Microsoft Windows programs are distributed with help files. These
are files usually with the same name as the program filename but with
a '.HLP' filename extension. These are also called hypertext HLP files.
Usually you can use Windows FileManager and just double-click on the
HLP file to load it, but you can also install seperate Icons into
Windows for each of these files.
I travel extensively and I'm always wondering what BBS systems are
in the neighborhood... I have always been impressed by Windows hypertext
as a method of compiling alot of information.
Finally I saw what a nice reference help file Mustang had put together
for QModemPro for Windows and that was it, I decided to make a master
BBS reference for myself and others...
So here it is the 1st reference utility listing over 4500 BBS systems in
the US! It has the US-BBS List, Black Bag Medical List, the Chicago BBS
List, Toll-Free, and the Excalibur BBS List all in one HLP file!
These are up-to-date as of April 1994!

Yes it's that easy! Now just double-click on the '?'
