Re: Gnome Help Browser

[Rodney Dawes <dobey free fr>]

Yeah, I added a quick hack to view ghelp: uris in the old version of Encompass.
For the version I'm working on that is in cvs right now, I plan to split out the
help control separately. If you'd like to help, I'd be glad to have you work on the
help control with me.
