HOW TO CREATE a HELP FILE

Please note the following Rules,
1)Everything is Case Sensitive
2)All the Help files must be in the root draw or one on a lower branch


(1) CASE
All the 'Key' or 'Relative' subsections are case sensitive. This is just because of the Code
When Specifying a File, the extentsion needs to be lower case, whereas <NONE> must be upper case
(2) PATHS
When the code works out the fileName it adds app.path (look it up in help) to the beginning.
Should you want it to get stuff from another folder within the root folder use this:
Sub-Folder\Text in sub folder.txt


STRUCTURE

Open up Help.INI

Under the [General] section you will see:
Entries - This is number of files and nodes to be shown
Form Title - This is the Title frmhelp has

You will then see a list of sections [ ] with numbers:
[1]
[2] etc
under each one is:
ListItem="Text or Rtf"  - The Text to show on the TreeView Control
ListTarget="TEXT or RTF.txt"	- The File to open (.txt,.rtf,<NONE>
Relative=Part1 - The Branch that it appears under (Root is the Main Branch)
Node=false	- False means it will show a document, True means it wont.

If node = True there is another property:
Key = NotRoot - This defines a new branch, this can then be used in subsequent sections as the Relative, they then appear under this branch.

If node = true, the ListTarget must = <NONE>
