Hey All, seems the more I advance the more I fall behind. Only been using
this computer since 1988 and I am still lost. I have upgraded my A1200
2.2.2.1 thanks to Hyperion helping me recover a Serial number. But
now when I press the Help key nothing happens when before it used to
open the OS3.2 Help pages. Which was great to use. There was another
way to open it, from the Shell I believe, but I lost it. If someone could
point me to that or other wise give me some advise on how to access
it, I would be most appreciative.
Thanks,
Brad Hansen

I don't use an Amiga keyboard and the scroll lock key, which is supposedly mapped to Help doesn't work, but I don't know if that's hardware or software related.
Just typing 'help' in shell brings up the OS 3.2 help pages for me though.

From what I recall, the help files are installed in HELP:<language>/Sys, where <language> is the langauge you selected to use during install. If you change language setting afterwards, help stops working. The entire “help system” is just a shell script, with … plenty of … room for improvements.
