Gee, I wish HELPEX had an example of this. I'm trying to include a few
simple, small, monochrome bitmaps in a .HLP file. The manual makes it sound
so easy... just put {bmc filename.bmp} in the file, and add the filename to
the [BITMAPS] section of the .HPJ file, and it just works.
Well, not for me. What I get is the text "{bmc filename.bmp}" in my help
file. I've tried a bunch of different formatting combinations (in the
manual, "bmc" is bold, and "filename" italic, but they never give any
indication if that's important or not).
I'm certain that it's easy and I'm missing something trivial. Any help from
someone who has successfully done this would be greatly appreciated!
