Since some time when hitting f1 over a win32 api call the win32.hlp doesnt come up ?
Where and how can one specify the editor where to find it ?

Thank's.

I already have the file on my pc.

I explain a litle more:
My win32.hlp file is located and searched for by many app in the folder:
D:\Program Files\Fichiers communs\Borland Shared\MSHelp\win32.hlp

Some time ago, i think pure ide found it by itself, and when i press f1 in the ide over a ..._ function call, the help comes.
But now, it's not found anymore !
Is there a place or a .ini or anything else where i can tel the ide where to find the win32.hlp file ?

you can put it in the Purebasic\Help\ directory and it should work

Yes, i tried it, it works !
But do i really have to have 2 copy of it on my pc ?
I've many app that look at the other dir to find it !
And i would prefer to have it only one time !

So could there be an option to tell purebasic where to find it ?
In the prefs panel for example so one could put the file where he wants ?

Thank's
