 DB> Great Idea. I'd like to zip that suggestion into the telemate package
 DB> on my BBS. 
  Be aware that repackaging any part of the Telemate archive like this
violates the distribution license and copyright law.  You are technically not
allowed to distribute any copy of Telemate which you modify.  I doubt Winfred
would do anything, but I like to respect the wishes of shareware authors.
 DB> Now, having done this, I find the viewer insists on openning every
 DB> time on line 150, which is the part of the index starting with "Log
 DB> files" (I have perversely placed the index where it can be read at the
 DB> top of the file)  
  Don't forget that Telemate is expecting the TM.HLP file to *be* it's help
file.  What little context-sensitive searching there is in Telemate is still
active.  Thus, [F1] in the Terminal window opens TM.HLP at line 200, or line
150 in the Dial List, etc.  This is the place in the original help file where
the relevant text could be found.  When you replace TM.HLP, the context 
earch
gets out of sync.
  The fix: Hit [Ctrl-PageUp] after hitting [F1].  Not that hard.  :-)
