Given that there is now only one help file, is it still nec. to have two "help"
buttons on the interface?

Also, and BTW, installing the 3.5 beta buggers up (technical term) the help
buttons for 3.1 (pov and megapov) - they try and open help in the 3.5 directory.

Oh, win2000 p3 733

Technically, no, but I don't see any harm in it.

I can't duplicate this. I have three machines (all W2K) with both versions installed
and the 3.1 help still works. In fact I can't even begin to imagine how it could -not-
work, given that the two versions use different directories and completely different
parts of the registry.

I cannot duplicate it in Win 98 either.

Actually I think it's really useful, because the docs have now been merged
it is not immediately obvious, and in fact takes some time getting used to,
where the two previously seperate sections of the doc are in relation to
each other.
