Hi Shlomo

Well, it is to FrameMaker users on Mac, as my experience is that the FrameMaker 6 help reader is broken when used from Classic, and the help files cannot be reached. It typically produces messages such as 'The file 'fm6.hlp' couldn't be opened or couldn't be found because of an error #-35' (-35 = 'file not found').

Also, in OS X, Apple's Preview application is a much nicer PDF reader for manuals than QuickHelp.

FrameMaker 7's help for Mac opens in Internet Explorer. Need I say more?
