In the Connection Settings and Phone Book dialog boxes, users can also access context-sensitive Help by clicking the question-mark button in the title bar and then clicking the interface item in question. Text for the context-sensitive Help is in the file Cmctx32.rtf. In the following list of customization suggestions, each topic is referred to by its topic ID (# footnote).
