PocketBuilder has two kinds of online Help: HTML Help and Windows Help.
HTML Help includes the PocketBuilder books: the Introduction to PocketBuilder, this book (the Users Guide), and the Resource Guide.
Windows Help contains context-sensitive reference information from the following books: Objects and Controls, the DataWindow Reference, the PowerScript Reference, and the Connection Reference. It also provides context-sensitive help for dialog boxes and the wizards and tools in the New dialog box.
Some Windows Help topics provide links to related topics in the HTML Help.
Table 1-7 lists the ways you can access Help.
