Hi!  For all of you out there who are developing
windowing system applications for multiple platforms,
I'd be interested in knowing what you're doing for
a hypertext help system.

What we're looking for is a hypertext help system
that will run on X/Motif, MS-Windows, and the Mac.
This issue here is that we really only want to enter
our help text once (not once for each plaform) and
have a help user interface that looks the same on
all platforms.

Any experiences/advice you can share on this subject
will be appreciated.  Please respond directly to me.

Thanks, Anne
