Re: Help screen from WebPage

["Peter Dow" <pcdow@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Jean,

Cool, yes, but not very useful unless you can be sure all your users are
using Client Access. Most of my customers have a mix of dumb terminals,
various telnet clients, and some CA.  If the only help available was via
this method, the dumb terminal users would be sol, and the various telnet
clients would be copying & pasting the URL to their browser.
