- I am new to the Andrew software and I am not familiar with relevant
- newsgroups or bulletin-boards. So please send me mail and tell me
- where an answer is posted if that's the normal way to get an answer.
- Thanks.
-
- My first question is: Where can I ask lots of questions concerning
- Andrew? Is there commercial support available or could I pay
- somebody for helping me? Here are some of my questions - I would
- appreciate ANY hint on how to get a (partial) answer:
-
- The history mechanism in 'help' is great. Now all I need to find out
- is to keep help from opening lots of help windows
- to really make use of the history panel.
-
- - How can I supply a new keyword to a running help process from another
- program (with the current file being listed in the History panel)?
- There is a command line option for help to request a new window - but how
- can I request to use the old one? I know about typescript. But I
- want to call the help system from another program. Is there a way
- to call typescript to call help without opening a typescript window?
-
- - Is there a way to disable the "Window menu" in the help system (to
- keep the user from opening lots of additional help windows)?
-
- - Is there a way to put hypertext links in a help document and have
- the new file be displayed in the old help window?
-
- - How can I swap right and left headers on even pages when printing
- from the help program (like the option in "Printer Setup" in ez)?
-
- Thanks!
