Unfortunately, for now the only _seamless_ way to have point-and-shoot access to the online help is from the editor. The editor is a rewrite of the "M" editor supplied w/ C 5.1 and other languages, bound into the PWB. There's been a lot of complaints on the docs both for the RTL and PWB. MS does show a few examples on how to write extensions to the editor, but it can take some digging around to find them. You can replace it with your own (like brief), but lose the instant quick-help access. QH is available from the command line (QH [object]), but to access it from something like brief you'd have to write your own macro to load it manually. ------------------------------------------------------------ Bob DuBose dubose_b@wums.wustl.edu Department of Genetics bdb@agar.wustl.edu Washington University in St. Louis ------------------------------------------------------------
