Tut-tut! ;-)

I've grabbed a copy of 1.12 but it's not in there either.

OK and as I notice that someone else can't replicate it either, it  
looks like the problem is somewhere on my system but what it is, I  
really can't imagine??

I notice there's what appears to be a compiled version of the help  
compiler included in the source, along with the source for the help  
file. So, I thought I'd try and be clever<grin> and compile the help  
file myself to see if that solved the problem. Not possible because  
the help compiler(hlpcomp.exe) is 16-Bit and obviously won't run on  
64-Bit Windows. A 32-Bit version would be nice, thank you very much ;)

Martin
