Hello andrew,

BG>> helpfile statement, for example...

ac> HelpHile   e:\msged\msged.hlp
    ^^^^^^^^
I presume that was a typographical error and you have helpfile in your
cfg.
ac> [c:\]dir e:\msged\msged.hlp

ac>  Volume in drive E is Blizzard 02    Serial number is 1E48:246A
ac>  Directory of  e:\msged\msged.hlp

ac> msged.hlp        5586   7-03-95  8:27a

It is interesting to note that I am also using the same version and I
haven't got a msged.hlp file.  Mine is msged.dat and msged.scr.  In my
config file I use helpfile msged.dat and it works.

ac> It's got me beat.  I haven't bothered to check the Msged source code for
ac> that particular function.  Maybe I should.  :-)
