New page

The Amiga Workbench supports a hypertext on-line help function that uses AmigaGuide files. These files are widely used in third-party applications; however, the Release 3 Workbench does not provide any AmigaGuide help about itself other than a help file for AmigaGuide. This appendix describes the following:

* Accessing AmigaGuide files
* Using AmigaGuide
* AmigaGuide menus

= Accessing AmigaGuide =

When you are running a program or application that uses AmigaGuide, there are three ways to access the AmigaGuide files:

# Pressing the Help button while the mouse pointer is over an item on the screen for which you need help.
# Selecting the Help menu item.
# Opening a .guide file in MultiView.

Figure C-1 illustrates an AmigaGuide Help file found in LOCALE:Help opened in MultiView.
