Yes, the INDEXED.HELP file is supposed to have filetype $00 (it'll have a
Real filetype in the next version), and it needs to go in a directory called
"help" -inside- whatever directory you're running Davex from.  (For example,
if the Davex application's path is /h1/davex/davex, your "%" directory is
/h1/davex, and your help directory is /h1/davex/help.)

If you still can't get it working, send me your friend's address and I'll
mail a disk already set up (specify 5.25 or 3.5).

(Lurkers:  Davex is a Shareware command shell for ProDOS 8.)
