Help on Wheels is a generic help server, which springs from the help facility in the famous Disinfectant program, offers on-line, context-sensitive help service to all AWOL Utilities programs, and potentially others to come.

As a user, you see help for several client programs stacked in a single window, with each program’s menu commands and dialog items keyed to descriptive paragraphs in the help file.

You can tell the help server to follow your actions in the background, so that you can read about the program while you use it. Hypertext links connect related sections and trigger demonstration actions by the client application.

The Help on Wheels developer’s kit (now supporting Metrowerks CodeWarrior as well as the MPW environment, and PowerPC as well as 68K programs) includes a sample application, and everything a developer would need to add help service to an application, control panel, or extension.

The client interface is designed to take the burden of display, printing, saving, and other common help functions away from the developer.
