@node "INTRO" "MultiHelp V1 - Introduction"
Picture This:- Youv`e just got a new PD/Shareware program that
really complicated to use (PGP is a good example). Everytime you get
stuck
you have to go back to the directory where the program is and
double-click
on the GUIDE or DOC file. And even then the Default Tool is
normally wrong
for you system!
This is where MultiHelp comes in. MultiHelp is a commodity that
in the background. It allows you to assign Hotkeys to the GUIDES and
asscoiated with these annoying programs. The viewers are pre-defined
programs configuration, so you never get "Unable To Load You
Tool..."
errors, there a thing of the past!
