MUSHclient Help

Several of the menu items under Help in the client go to Microsoft Support in Version 5.05.

Also, on the "Regular expression matching" page, http://www.gammon.com.au/mushclient/regexp.htm , in the description for [[:cntrl:]], there is an extra 's' at the end of characters.

The help works fine under Windows XP. Later versions of Windows can cause that page to appear if you don't have WinHelp installed.

I fixed the double "ss" in the regexp help file.

Thanks, I'll get WinHelp downloaded.

If anyone else has this problem you can fix it with these instructions, I even used the Windows 8.1 x64 version and it still worked.

If you can't get help to work for some reason, there is a fall-back of using the MUSHclient_Help plugin which ships with MUSHclient.

That lets you interrogate the same database that the help file is generated from, in the client itself. This could be handy for copy/pasting examples.

I like the thought of putting "Database interrogater" on my resume when they ask about my skills :D

I don't know if they're supposed to be there or not, but I didn't see any of the "OnPlugin" functions listed in the Plugins Documentation, or is it just within one of the sub-sections?
