- Right click, press F1 or use the ? button in the title bar.
-
- When a dialog supports context sensitive help, you can right click
- on every control element to get more information about it.
- Dialogs that don't have a minimize or maximize box in their caption do also show
- an additional button with a '?'-symbol in their window caption.
- The F1 key is also recognized as a context help call in dialogs.
-
- The used Help Pack file can be selected here:
- 'Options' -> 'Customize' -> 'Help'
-
-Installation
-----------------------
- Find 'miranda32.exe' on your computer.
-
- Just copy all the contents of the zip-file as they are into the 'Plugins' directory
- in the Miranda IM folder.
- The Help Plugin will detect the files and move them into the appropriate
- directories on it's first run.
-
- You can also do all the installation by hand, if you want to:
-
- Main Plugin: Copy the file 'help.dll' into the 'Plugins' directory
- in the Miranda IM folder.
- The file 'helppack_english.txt' needs to copied into the main directory
- of Miranda IM.
-
- The Unicode version of the plugin will only work on Windows NT/2000/XP,
- Windows Server 2000, Windows Vista or later with an installed
- Unicode version of Miranda IM.
- To use it on Windows 95/98/Me, please download the ANSI version of the plugin.
-
- Documentation: The txt-files should be moved along with the SDK-zip into the
- 'Docs' directory in the Miranda IM folder.
-
- That's it!
-
