- Help Writing Help is a book designed specifically for writers and
- developers who design and develop Windows(TM) online Help for third
- party applications. It's written from the writer's point of view and
- contains helpful information on writing and designing Help systems.
- It runs under Windows as a Help file. This book is meant to be used
- as an online reference.

- The goal of the book is to reduce the amount of time required to

- Windows Help easier for writers and software developers.
