Hi all! I've got a small question here. I would like to lauch a full screen, (or windowed), program from a Help.IPF application that I've written. So far, it looks like this: :link reftype=launch object='test.exe' data='arg1 arg2'.TEST:elink. My problem seems to be that it does not seem possible to 'launch' a full screen, (or windowed), application from the Help Manager. This *does* work when launching PM apps. Is this a bug, or am I doing some thing wrong?? I need a little help from all of the wisdom out there!!! Thanks to all in advance!!! -Dave Patterson = #include <disclaimer.h> ========================================= ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| ||||||| ||||||| l t t oooooo l i v v eeeeee ttttt ttttt i o o l i v v eeeeeeee t t i o o l i v v e t t t t i oooooo l i v eeeeee ttt ttt i ========== {ucbvax, etc.}!hplabs!oliveb!olivej!davepat ============

It kind of makes weird logical sense to only allow the launching of PM applications from within the Help Manager. I'm not sure, however.

If PM allows for the launching of FS or Windowed programs from Groups, why not the Help Manager too???

No no no...PM allows it, but does Help Manager? I realize that you can start FS or windowed programs from groups, but does Help Manager necessarily provide that "priviledge"?

I should back up and ask that question first... So: Does anyone out there know if the Help Manager will let one launch FS or Windowed programs? (Hey, Microsoft! Are there any Help Gurus there to answer this one???). > > Cheers, > Q - the "Q"uestor for knowledge (, a degree, etc.) > > lsalomo@hubcap.clemson.edu > ibmman@clemson.clemson.edu > ============================================================================= > "Gee Wally, I think there's something wrong with the Beaver." > ============================================================================= Thanks again for the info!! -Dave Patterson = #include <disclaimer.h> ========================================= ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| ||||||| ||||||| l t t oooooo l i v v eeeeee ttttt ttttt i o o l i v v eeeeeeee t t i o o l i v v e t t t t i oooooo l i v eeeeee ttt ttt i ========== {ucbvax, etc.}!hplabs!oliveb!olivej!davepat ============ "Robin Dey's got a hedgehog named Frank" - Interviewer #1
