Help file creation?Hi
How can I create EPOC/PSION style help files, complete with the "contents" list. for use as reference files for my own reference requirements?
Thank you...

Help filesPsion/EPOC help files tend to simply be files created with the built in Data program on the Psions.
It's the easiest way.

Any tips or pointers on how to begin? or is it obvious when I start using the Data program? Is there perhaps a "template"?
Thank you.

Hi Peter
If you find any existing help file (look in \system\apps then pick an app name), copy it and rename it .dat instead of .hlp - you can then edit this with the standard data file, changing field names etc if you like.
Rename it .hlp once you finish, and voila - one help file.
(I have a small help file I wrote for an app of my own, pm me if you want a copy.)
Regards
Matthew

Thanks Matthew.
I have had a "play" with the Data app and can see how it works. I may do what you suggest though to have a look at what others have done, in case I learn something
