    I have searched the forums for anything that would help me load a .chm helpfile from the autocad command prompt or menu but to no avail....

    We run acad 2000LT , 2000i LT , and 2002LT ...
    How do you run a helpfile without using (help"helpfile.chm) or "startapp" ?

    patrick,

    you can put the following line in acad.pgp file (if it exists for LT products?):
    helpme, myhelp.chm, 1,,

    fantastic! ... thanks for that...

    One thing though.... how do I stop the Autocad LT Shell popping up.... or is there a way to remove it after executing the helpme command ?

    thanks again!
