The Genie was "revealed" with great pride by Larry Garlick as a coming feature in ARS 4 at the '98 RUG in San Francisco during one of the main sessions. Half of the room full of developers said "whee!"... the other half said "Great, one more thing to break." We were supposed to be able to use it (with guides?) to make Remedy apps user friendly, and the genie would be to Remedy what the paper clip is to MS apps. I've always wanted to use it that way, but they just never gave us the option. If you have the right sound card configuration, he speaks, but it's in that "the way computers spoke in '98" kind of voice. Some days, when I have a little time... I bring him out to talk, but he just says the worst things. (He's bitter.)

The only reason I know of its existence was back at version 4 (or 5) I implemented OLE for spell checking as all my users were on ARUsertool. Remedy was a lot easier back then :).

Create an active link Pick a form (doesn't matter) Go to the If action tab and select OLE Automation Check Genie Help in the lower left corner and a Genie will appear.
