ProTIPS Pro/PDM Accessing Pro/PDM Help

With a standard Pro/PDM 3.6 installation, when using the Pro/PDM client software, when you hit the Help buttons all you get is a "No Help" web-page. Yet there is a complete set of the Pro/PDM User guide in HTML format installed in the loadpoint.

To enable users to access these pages, all you need to do it modify the page <pdm-loadpoint>/html/usascii/no_help.htm to redirect users to <pdm-loadpoint>/html/usascii/propdm/user36/pdmugtoc.htm and <pdm-loadpoint>/html/usascii/propdm/user36/pdmugix.htm. You could also take the opportunity to add any corporate standards documentation.

This works with WindowsNT4 and Hewlett-Packard Unix.

Below is a simple no_help.htm
