I have written an application using F-PC 3.5. Part of the pakage is an on-line
help function using the hypertext facility. I recently installed MS-DOS 5.0 on
my machine, a clone 286, nothing special. The help function worked fine while
using DOS 3.3, but hangs up my machine under 5.0. The problem occurs whe{n I
try to use the hyper mode to jump from a source linked word in the text to its
destinstion. At times, the first link works but the systems hangs on the next
attempt. I tried disabling the mouse, but the results were the same using the
the keyboard alone. What is also confusing is that the help mode works when I
run with-in F-PC. I apnly have a problem with 5.0 when I run the turnkey
version of my app. I am in the process of trying to find out how the hypertext
function works, but I only have the forth source code which came with F-PC.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Fred.
