INTRODUCTION:
EuHelp is a help file creator written in Euphoria. It uses the simple
controls available with Win32Lib.  It uses a MlEdit control meaning all
formatting of text has to be done by entering "RTF" Codes. Instructions
and examples are provided to allow small help files to be created quickly
and easily.  With the current "RTF" coding I wouldn't start creating a large
help file with EuHelp.  If you want to create small to medium sized files
EuHelp will do that for you with great speed.
