I am developing an application. Could you advice me how to call a help file typed in MS word in a menu item command.
I tried doing this but it is not working. e.g
------
host ('c:housemanual.doc');
-------
Any proper way of doing above?

I advise you to first try any Host sentence at the command line or at the run function of start menu. If it works over there, it will work under Host command anyway.
Regards.
