- First point is that it's not really "my" file. I translated it from
- George Greenwade's VMS file. I hope others might look at my effort
- (including some simple C code) and do the same thing for other popular
- systems (X-windows anyone?) that they know about.
-
- Sorry if it's confusing. I usually access the help file from the
- microEMACS for Windows (mewin) shell that I also posted. From that
- shell there is a HELP menu item...
-
- However, if you are not interesed in using mewin, you can view the
- file using the winhelp.exe program that comes with windows and is
- located in your windows directory. I've put together a short
- description below. [This description doesnt really belong on this
- group, since it is about Windows, not TeX! Sorry!]
-
- You can either:
- 1. Create a program-manager "entry" for winhelp by the usual methods
- (use the File/New... menu item in program manager). The you can run
- winhelp and open the latex.hlp file. Of course this is tedious.
- 2. Use the File/Properties dialog to add the path-name of latex.hlp to
- the "Command Line" entry. i.e.
- Command Line: winhelp c:\mydir\latex.hlp
- 3. Associate .hlp files with winhelp, using File Manager, then you can
- run a help file by clicking on it.
-
- If you *still* can't figure it out, pls. email me!
