Write full-featured help files with the built-in editors for SHG files (hotspot bitmaps), WinHelp macros, contents tree, browse sequences, etc.If you have previously used another help authoring tool, reuse your work by importing the HPJ+RTF files created with the other tool or by a decompiler.Use the help files you make with HelpScribble to provide context-sensitive help with your Window applications, no matter which development tool you use.
