help files

[edexter]

I was able to add help files to the start menu by editing the web page (adding links to the pdf's and c whatver) and then placing it back into the zip file... I don't realy understand the docs about plugins and suspect the commplaints about ot adding help files could be
misleading (since start is a plugin???)...  Is there an easy way to add these to the help menu instead???

Just use the help plugin (be sure it's installed first). Settings -> Environment [Help files] is where you can manage your help files.

There's a bug in the help plugin that comes with the 8.02 release. I recommend you to install 8.02, and, on top of it, a Nightly build (the 10 March Nightly build has the bugfix, but you can also try with the 18 March one).

That explains why I saw it in one manual and not the others...  I am off to look for 7-zip then so I can try that

Could you please direct me to where I could get basic manuals?

The C++ Language reference and the Standard Library reference are what I need (I use GCC).

Any installable in the help plugin format will do.

You could begin downloading the great "Thinking in C++ 2nd.Edition" books (vols. 1 and 2) by Bruce Eckel.

Check http://cppreference.com (both C and C++ help. Not compiler specific)
The help is downloadable in various formats in the FAQ.
