Hi Ron,
I just took a look at the your copy of TSE Jr., and your help file, and
I found the problem.
In your set up, you have "Tabs Out" mode turned on.  This saves any file
that you edit with Tabs in it.  The QHELP.TXT file, cannot have tab
characters embedded in it.
To get around this problem, there are two things you can do:
    (1) If you want to disable Tabs Out mode permanently:
        - Go into QConfig, and select Tab Settings.
        - Answer the "Do you want the editor to start in Tabs Out mode
          (Y/N)?" prompt with an N.
        - Press  repeatedly until you get back to the main menu,
          then select the "Save Changes and Quit" option.
        Next, you will need to edit the QHELP.TXT file.  Select the
        "Expand Tabs to Spaces" option from the "Other" menu.  Then save
        the file.
        Finally, start QConfig again, and select the Help option.  This
        time the file should be installed correctly.
    (2) If you don't want to disable the Tabs Out mode permanently:
        - Edit the QHELP.TXT file.
        - Press  to temporarily disable Tabs Out mode.
        - Select "Expand Tabs to Spaces" from the "Other" menu.
        - Save the file.
        - Exit TSE Jr. and run QConfig.  Select the Help option.
        Now the help file should be installed correctly.
Hope this helps!
                           George J. De Bruin
