Hi NewGuy1,

I'm not sure I understand the question exactly, but...

If you wan't to make a HTML from your source code, then:
:arrow: go to thinAir ( IDE for thinBASIC, bundled with installation )
:arrow: open desired script file ( *.tbasic or *.tbasicc )
:arrow: select Tools menu, Utilites > Html output

... that will generate html file, which can be opened in Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, ...

The script files should be associated automatically by installation program, if not, you could do it binding them ( "Open with ...") to thinBasic.exe or thinBasicc.exe

Hope it helps,
Petr

Hi NewGuy1,

if I've understood well, you are not able to open thinBasic .chm compiled help file. Is it ok? If yes, what version do you have of Internet Explorer? .chm viewer should come with IE or some version of office.

Also see Microsoft documentation at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/htmlhelp/html/hwMicrosoftHTMLHelpDownloads.asp

You can browse thinBasic help online at http://www.thinbasic.com/public/products/thinBasic/help/html/index.html

If even this is not ok for you, let me know. I can publish full html help download.

Ciao
Eros

PS: thanks Petr!

Thank you all,

Apoligize for being unclear, type so poorly, probabaly even thinking is same

Use PC Lite prof and have removed IE from system, Fire Fox and old Netscape 4.79 are principal browsers. The on line link is OK, but dialup is a problem using this.

Yes, would appreciate a Help Zip

Thanks again
JJ

OK, perfect. Now I know why. It was a bit strange at first.
Tomorrow I will prepare a .zip file with html help so you can browse it offline.
In any case, you know, the best way to learn a language is experimenting with sources. Very ofter we are here online so if you have any request, please register and make any post you need. Also, once registered, you can use personal messages forum functionality if you prefer.

I will make another post when html download is ready.

Ciao
