SUMMARY
You can move the .HLP Help files in Multimedia Windows to a different directory by either creating or editing the WINHELP.INI file.

NOTE: You cannot relocate help files in the original Windows 3.0 nor 3.0a product.



MORE INFORMATION
To relocate a Help file:
 * 1) Open the the WINHELP.INI file in a text editor such as Notepad and look for the [Files] section.
 * 2) On a new line, place the name of the file to be relocated.
 * 3) Enter an equal sign and then the path for the new location.

For example, to relocate the Calculator Help file to a directory called WHELP on network drive X:, add the following line to the [Files] section of the WINHELP.INI file:

calc.hlp=X:\WHELP

If a WINHELP.INI file does not yet exist, one needs to be created in the following form: [Files] calc.hlp=X:WHELP
