Enhanced HMG Help files
I have been updating the HMG help files that are installed in the C:\HMG.3.5\DOC\ folder as I have found this a useful way to develop my knowledge and also find it a helpful quick reference (especially if I have a compiler syntax error)!
Perhaps others might find this useful for themselves? Attached it a zip file with the new help files I have created (with links to the old files where they already existed). This will also create two new folders under C:\HMG.3.5\DOC\ - a \SampleCode folder and a \Images folder.
I have only changed one file that existed before - navigator.htm - but have made a backup copy which will also extract to the C:\HMG.3.5\DOC\data folder.
If I have "transgressed" any copyright, forum rules, etc by making these changes, please feel free to delete this post!!
However, if any one finds these useful, please let me know and I will upload future versions as I develop this further. It is NOT a priority for me - just something I do from time to time.
As ever, any feedback (good or bad) is welcomed.

Re: Enhanced HMG Help files
Thanks a lot for your humble contribution Stuart.
East or West HMG is the Best.
South or North HMG is worth.
...the possibilities are endless.

Re: Enhanced HMG Help files
This update works for me in 3.4.4. I extracted the .ZIP's contents using the same path under 3.4.4.

Re: Enhanced HMG Help files
Excellent work Stuart ! With photos and example code !
I come from the time when we learned everything by reading books and I use documentation a lot,
And your work is very helpful to me, I hope with time more about the new functions.
Really very grateful !
Pd. This is the cherry on the cake ! for those of us who like to delve into the guts of the code !

Re: Enhanced HMG Help files
I don't know how to export multiple html files to a single PDF - which would be huge! And my skills with webpages aren't fantastic, so not sure how to build search functionality...
Thanks for all the comments. Glad this helps.
