Thanks Derek, for the menu_rext extensions. I've just installed them and I have progress: instead of the error "DIR_SELECT$ bad name" I now get "DIR_SELECT$ bad parameter"!
Thanks Rich for your contribution. I have the help files and index in WIN1_basic_help_, because that's where I was told to put them by QHelp_doc! I shall experiment further. _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
