No, it's actually an rtf file. If you look at it with a text editor (I use syn) there are tons of control codes that don't appear when viewed with Word or Wordpad. And, yes, I was saving it as an rtf file.
Besides the normal RTF control coding embedded into the RTF, there are also "special" characters used for the building of the HELP file. I used the WORDPAD that came with Windows-98 without any problems to update this file and then recompile it with the Help Compiler.
What I'll try next, since I have vmware installed, is to create a guest OS using Win95. Hopefully, the Wordpad that it comes with will work.
Which is one reason I copied over the WORDPAD and NOTEPAD from my Win-98 machine over to my Win-XP machine. Notepad changed the most after Windows-98 when it went to Win-2K and Win-XP. If you need a ZIP file of these, let me know I will upload them for you to copy over to your machine.
