The PB 21 tutorial says to reference the pbtutor.chm file.  I did not have a copy of that file in the Tutorial folder, but there was a copy in Tutorial/Solutions.

I copied the pbtutor.chm file into Tutorial, and now the help works for this location:

https://docs.appeon.com/pb2021/getting_started/ch02s06.html#XREF_15820_Enable_Help_menu

However, for this earlier location:

https://docs.appeon.com/pb2021/getting_started/ch02s03.html#XREF_56990_Code_some_Help

when I run my app and do F1 for the UserID and Password text boxes, its says there are no associated help topics.  How do I define the help for those SingleLineEdit controls?  The coded context IDs are 100 and 200.

Hi Ruth;

  Compiled HTML Help (CHM) files do support Topic ID but, I have no idea if this was done in the current pbtutor.chm file.  Originally, this tutorial was built in earlier versions of MS-Windows where the help file formal was .HLP. This was then converted to a CHM format when Microsoft dropped support for the HLP help format in lieu of the current CHM format that newer MS-Windows O/S support today.

  Please open a Support Ticket for this issue so that we can have our Appeon Documentation team review this issue.

Regards ... Chris

How do I view and update the content of the .chm file?

You would need a CHM authoring tool and the original help source.
