@tbbw, thanks.
@Drv, The dos version behaves correctly in a scrollable window. The windows version does not. It should probably work the same as the dos version. (i.e. like running qb or edit in a window). Currently the word wrap is fixed at 76 columns, which is done by the help file generator. (not the viewer)
I don't think I have ever changed the screen buffersize from 80x25 until just now. I always used mode con lines=50. I also see that the windows version does not work at all with a screenbuffer wider than 80 columns. I'm bypassing some of the fb run-time stuff. Maybe I shouldn't do that, or try to remember why I did that, and possibly report bugs on the fbrt.
You'll still need the "fbhelp.dat" file from the exe download for this to work.
EDIT: Old source link deleted.
Good idea and easy to do. Thanks

Quote:One suggestion for the windows version: Putting a little Close button up in the top right corner--Turbo Vision style--would be nice. Good job on this.
