Try googling 'Robohelp'
There is no way I'm paying £270.00 for that.

A tiny question mark icon next to the areas where a dumb user (which would consist of all of your clients) would require help. They click on that, and it pops up a page such as help.aspx?topic=392 which shows them what to do.

is that like on AOL those nasty hackers ><> accounts? could I use one of these web pages to do that? or could this .net thing do that for me?
I don't know this for sure, but I think a browser is this thing I'm typing in. And I have aslo read about this stuff called XML Documentation that provides a standard to use for dynamicly displaying help. it even links back and stuff. In C# you can put it right in your code.....
oh! C# is the grade i made in english last term btw......
