Included with Flint is an HTML Help system that is displayed in a Web browser. The Help automatically installs on the Flint system and is accessible anywhere within Flint.

The Help is best viewed using Firefox® 2 or Internet Explorer 7.

To start the Help from Flint:

  1. Start Flint.
  2. On the bottom-right of the screen, click Help.

    You can also click Preferences to display the Preferences menu and click Help.

  3. A browser launches to display the Help.
    Tip Press Ctrl+= to open the Help from anywhere in Flint.

Learn how to use the Help by reading the “Using the Help” appendix, available only in the Help.

NoteOn Linux workstations, the Help may flicker. To avoid flickering, choose Preferences / Look & Feel in the Start menu. Select Window Behavior. In the Focus Tab, set the Focus Policy to Click to Focus.

To copy the Help to another system:

  1. Copy the Documentation/help folder from the product DVD to the new location on another system.

    It is recommended to keep the help files locally on any system they are accessed from. Otherwise, browser errors may occur when navigating through the different areas of the Navigation pane. If an error does occur, refresh the browser.

  2. To start the Help after copying the Help folder, open the help/index.html file.
