The Winhelp compiler gets excited about some very particular bits of RTF, such as hidden fields and double-underlined text, e.g.: \par \pard {\uldb \fs20 Field _DATA}{\v field_247} is one line from a 'table of contents' in a help file I successfully generated by program. The RTF you need to generate for a Winhelp file is actually pretty simple. The problem I hit is that the Jade RTF backend resolutely (and rightly, I suppose) refuses to let you slide any '\' characters into the output stream yourself, and as far as I know it doesn't have flow objects which will generate the RTF codes Winhelp requires. [I suppose you could use the SGML backend and just generate RTF instead ...?] Richard.
