Re: BPCS documentation

Hi All

If you are running Full client server then you can access the help text
(which is similar to the Old Green Screen Run Doc) through Windows Explorer.
It is in the form of HyperText. you need to look in the BPCSO (I think)
directory. Have a browse or look through the Files and the Help Text is in
the ENG Folder.
