Hi All, I have created a patch for libgnomeui for enabling help on applications. Also modified one sample application (gcalc) to show the help. Currently I have changed the create_help_entries() function in gnome-app-helper.c to - create a Menu Item "Help Contents" - to fire gnome help browser (Yelp for my case and opens the help file for the application) when "Help Contents" is clicked. The changes that are made on application side are - adding GNOME_PARAM_APP_DATADIR,DATADIR, in gnome_program_init() - adding -DDATADIR=\""$(datadir)"\" under INCLUDES in Makefile.am There is no other changes need to be made on application side. Applications can make a call to GNOMEUIINFO_HELP (for example GNOMEUIINFO_HELP("gnome-calculator") ) to get the help menu . I am sending the patch as an attachment to this mail. (both for libgnomeui and gcalc). Please verify the same and give your comments. Things TODO - Currently I am trying to enable the hot key "F1" for help. I am planning to do the changes in libgnomeui only instead of in the application. So that for all the application "F1" will open the help file. Thanks and Regards Satyajit
