I am new to the Andrew software and I am not familiar with relevant newsgroups or bulletin-boards. So please send me mail and tell me where an answer is posted if that's the normal way to get an answer. Thanks. My first question is: Where can I ask lots of questions concerning Andrew? Is there commercial support available or could I pay somebody for helping me? Here are some of my questions - I would appreciate ANY hint on how to get a (partial) answer: The history mechanism in 'help' is great. Now all I need to find out is to keep help from opening lots of help windows to really make use of the history panel. - How can I supply a new keyword to a running help process from another program (with the current file being listed in the History panel)? There is a command line option for help to request a new window - but how can I request to use the old one? I know about typescript. But I want to call the help system from another program. Is there a way to call typescript to call help without opening a typescript window? - Is there a way to disable the "Window menu" in the help system (to keep the user from opening lots of additional help windows)? - Is there a way to put hypertext links in a help document and have the new file be displayed in the old help window? - How can I swap right and left headers on even pages when printing from the help program (like the option in "Printer Setup" in ez)?
