This sounds very familiar to me as being connected to the path issues as well. My suggestion is to CD into the directory that contains your database files. The path is set to be able to find the Rbase program and help files. Start up RBase and you should be able to connect to the database. Good luck.

Only possible hint is that when I'm in the menu and select VIEWS / CREATE MODIFY it says it can't find the help files.
