There is a bug in the help system which can cause crashes, or cause the highlighted links to disappear when the help window is scrolled. In HELP.CPP find the THelpViewer::draw() function (near line 94): if (topic->getNumCrossRefs() > 0) { // OLD CODE // { // ++keyCount; // topic->getCrossRef(keyCount-1, keyPoint, keyLength, keyRef); // } while ( (keyCount <= topic->getNumCrossRefs()) && // (keyPoint.y getCrossRef(keyCount, keyPoint, keyLength, keyRef); keyCount++; } while ( (keyCount < topic->getNumCrossRefs()) && (keyPoint.y <= delta.y)); } Farther in the same draw() function: // OLD CODE: // // ++keyCount; // if (keyCount <= topic->getNumCrossRefs()) // topic->getCrossRef(keyCount-1, keyPoint, keyLength, keyRef); // else // keyPoint.y = 0; // // NEW CODE: if (keyCount < topic->getNumCrossRefs()) { topic->getCrossRef(keyCount, keyPoint, keyLength, keyRef); keyCount++; } else keyPoint.y = 0; In THelpViewer::makeSelectVisible (near line 176) : // OLD CODE: // // if (keyPoint.y < d.y) // d.y = keyPoint.y; // // NEW CODE: if (keyPoint.y <= d.y) d.y = keyPoint.y-1; After making these changes, recompile the HELP.CPP with the following commands: bcc -c -P -O1 -ml -I..\include help.cpp tlib /0 ..\lib\tv.lib +-help.obj
