AxY FTP User Guide - Using Help System

## Using Help System

In order to be able to use on-line help system of AxY FTP you should have either Netscape or lynx installed. Another requirement is actually having help pages installed into /usr/local/share/axyftp/help/. In the future there will be more flexibility in both help files locations and the choice of the browser. Help will also become context-sensitive some day.

When you click on any "Help" button within AxY FTP and have Netscape already running, the help page will be displayed in a browser window.

#### Make sure "netscape" executable is in some directory of your $PATH

If Netscape is not running, the program will attempt to start it.

If the program fails to find "netscape" on your system, it will start xterm with "lynx" displaying help page in it. If that fails, there is nothing it can do at the moment. On-line help will be unavailable.

I plan to add more flexibility of the help viewers soon
