Fei Min, Yes, both Omnihelp and OracleHelp for Java are very fast and very flexible. Both the HTML Help Workshop help and Mif2Go Users Guide, discuss how to go about creating the tags necessary to make context-sensitive help work. The primary thing, from what i have have found, is the calls from

Steve, Occasionally my FrameMaker display will go a little berserk. Nothing as serious, so far, as you relate, but similar. Also, there are times when I will delete a graphic, but it remains on the screen, and "I know I deleted it". It may be due to a long standing bug in Frame related to refresh
