Hi Klaus,
Tried that and still no luck. When I look at the url it starts with
"file:///" (3 slashes). Is that OK?
I'm not sure what's going on here. I'm using the revBrowser sample stack
provided by runrev and it won;t access any web sites, never mind pdf files.
For instance, I tried www.googl

Folks,
Still playing around with different formats for this.
One possible format is the one used by the Datagrid reference manual. It's
a pdf file including a navigation pane on the left with
expandable/collapsible entries; clicking on an entry goes directly to the
associated page. Pretty sure t
Thanks Colin and Phil for the ScreenSteps recommendation. I'll definitely

There was a video I watched recently about using screen steps in exactly this

created with LiveCode.
It can export to Word, PDF, and HTML. With PDF you can use a LiveCode player

I'm trying to decide how to supply the help text for an application and
wondering what tools people are using to creat help files.
