Context Help plugin allows you to receive help based on what you're currently doing in PgcEdit. For example, when a dialog window pops up, just press F1 and, in most cases, you'll be redirected to the appropriate help page describing the dialog options.

Installation of the plugin is plain simple. Copy the archive contents keeping the folder structure to the "plugins" subfolder of PgcEdit folder (the one, that contains PgcEdit.exe file). If there is no "plugins" subfolder there, just create it manually or run PgcEdit.exe - the subfolder will be created. After you copy files to the plugins folder, restart PgcEdit.

If you're getting "Page not found" errors when using PgcEdit_Manual.chm, please ensure that you have the latest version of it, which can be obtained here: http://www.digital-digest.com/~blutach/PgcEdit_Manual.zip

More information can be found in "info.txt" in the plugin package.

If there are PgcEdit plugin developers out there, they can benefit from the Context Help plugin easily - more information can be found in "Info_for_PgcEdit_plugin_developers.txt" in the plugin package.

The plugin was written for PgcEdit 9.3 (coming really soon! :) ), but it should work with previous versions. However, as help is based on some PgcEdit internals (think of the window names as unique IDs), and those were changed in 9.3 to avoid ambiguity, you may not always get what you want.

I hope you'll find this plugin useful.

Huge thanks, M_Knox! This plugin is really a great addition to PgcEdit.

Many thanks also to blutach and Wombler. They have written and illustrated the manual, and added the HTML anchors where necessary for the help plugin.

I'm glad to have such a great team among the PgcEdit beta testers!
