- There is a way of making the help work. I don't remember the exact process
- but there is definatly a way. I beleive all you have to do is to rename
- the help file. Didn't put AmiPro in OS/2 yet because I was waiting for
- my upgrade to 3.0. I got it a couple of weeks ago but haven't gotten the
- chance to install it (in OS/2). If I spot the procedure again I will post
- it for you.
