Hmm... ok, then you have to do the work yourself :)

No problem. I wrote a simple Popup-TSR with PB which saves the current 
displayed screen in a textfile. I compiled and loaded it. After that I went 
through the whole index pages of the online help, captured them into a 
textfile and removed the stuff I didn't need. The result was the file I 
posted here.

Not really, I made a work-around in some way :) The same way you could do it 
with the rest of the online-help. But it would be more intresting if you 
would read directly out of the compiled help-files, because the user could 
include his own help-files. I think someone of PB Inc. would tell how to read 
those files when he was asked...
bye, Mike
