NewView now completely* replaces the OS/2 help system, including 
application online help (helpmgr.dll). When you press F1 in an 
application, you will now get NewView and you can as usual, select and
copy from the window.


If you have problems with the online help mode, please supply the 
hlpmgr2.log from your boot drive (e.g. c:\hlpmgr2.log). There are  known 
problems with the OS/2 master help index and tutorial (see  readme.txt). 

NewView is a free replacement for the original OS/2 or eComStation online
help system.

If you find NewView helpful, please email me and/or make a donation to
support further development. It's nice to hear from you! See my web  page 
for donation suggestions.

 - New user interface (split window)
 - Select and copy direct from window 
 - Easy to use global (all files) search
 - Remembers size & position
 - Most recently used files list
 - Smooth scrolling display
 - Current topic always highlighted in contents
