You dont need to buy the books because they are accessible online from the CD-ROM. If you installed the WINDOWS related files you can read the docs as WINDOWS-helpfiles (*.hlp) or if you use the DOS Compiler (my favourite one) you try after setting all the PATH's correct etc. WHELP It gives you a list of all *.ihp files (the DOS-version of the *.hlp files) found and you can choose then the one you want to read. Like this: WHELP clib If you need help for a special topic of the file and you know its name like "printf" or "getchar" try WHELP clib printf or WHELP clib getchar and the helper program opens the page you wanted. Hope that helps Lars.
