I just got a copy of the shareware program Imagine, which looks like a
(possibly) very nice image processing program.  However, it has no
external documentation, just an on-line help facility that doesn't
work--it gives "file not found" errors.  It does NOT ask me where the
missing file is.

BTW, the interface and operations are non-obvious; I really do need
SOME documentation or help to use the program.

I have a text document with it in an not-very-readible format entitled
something like "Imagine help."  Almost certainly this is the file it
wants and can't find (and doesn't ask me about).  Probably this file
has been renamed, or needs to be in a subfolder with a particular
name, or some such.  It does NOT work with the help file (1) in the
same folder as Imagine, or (2) in the System Folder.  Double-clicking
on the help file doesn't work--it's just text, and if it ever had a
special creator, it doesn't now.

Does anyone have this program with a working help system?  If so, what
is the exact configuration (what is the help file named, what folder
is it in, what are it's 4-letter codes)?  If not, is there something
obvious to try that I've overlooked?

PS  The program is Imagine, not Image;  I also just got Image, it
looks similar but weaker....and has no help system or docs at all.
