    The help file is a work in progress, and it will be a chm file, not an html.

    Will the help-file have the Spin documentation as well? Context-sensitive so pressing F1 while on "waitcnt" will open the Spin documentation and jump to waitcnt. That would help LOTS in the learning process to have that instant reference without having to pull-up the PDF and manually search. Even if the IDE simply launched the PDF and initiated a Search when you highlighed anything and pressed Ctrl-F1. Or are you putting the Spin documenation in the chm as well? Either way, context-sensitive help for Spin keywords would be a Big time-saver (for us).

    Spin documentation will be there, however I do not believe there will be context sensitive help.

    i had the same sort of thinking to day, since i use to have a html doc for work (HTML , PHP,...)
    cant be that hard for a quick fix use a pdf with an linked index.
