I've invested (thanks to the sponsors) in a development tool that'll allow
me to create and maintain "What's This" type help in Sailwave. One of the
biggest complaints I get is that Sailwave has no decent help and my
reasoning (excuse?) that Sailwave is in development is wearing a bit thin.
I will be retiring the on-line help on the web; it's not really worked out
anyway. This means the installation file will grow, but it'll still be
small relative to other apps. May not fit on a floppy any more though...
One of the advantages of the tool I've bought is that users can edit the
What's this help themselves; which'll be useful in situations whereby one
club 'expert' sets things up for others to use, and also useful for
alternative lanugage translations of the help.
Bigger? Better? Oh well, you're the boss - good luck with keeping it
small and efficient. Any chance of 'Help' being an option, to be selected
at installation?

Thought that was spam for a moment there... The install file will be bigger
and probably won't fit on a floppy but we're probably only talking about
2Mb. If that's an issue WRT download cost for a anybody I can probably do
something about it; if it's just a matter of time; my inclination is to not
complicate things.

Just concerned about run-time on older PC's (as used by impoverished sailing
clubs). Coming from an 'Excel macro' background, that's important to me!
But, yes, keep it simple.
