It you look at tools help for the debugger. I made the help topic show some screenshots. That can be useful when explaining graphical tools. But I don't remember how I did that.... I think it was kind of a hack. I'll see if I can find a way to recreate that and document it.
Best, Karl

- Open the Help entry in the Help browser.
- Type the updated text into the Help entry.
- Cmd+6 = Colored text, Cmd+7 = bold, Cmd+8 = italics, Cmd+_ = Underline
- Press Cmd+s to save the entry with the updated text.
- Note the dirty -Help package in Monticello browser.
Note:
- you may also add your own *CustomHelp* subclass in your package

Issues:
a) in Squeak / Core Packages / Commonly used / Compression / I have a clickable link that is 'Archive' (black) which opens a SystemBrowser on class 'Archive'
b) Squeak / Core Packages / Commonly used / Installer / ......... NO LINKS and NO EXECUTABLE code
c) Squeak / Core Packages / Commonly used / ToolBuilder there is a black (SystemBrowser) link to debugger and a blue (ClassBrowser) link to Toolbuilder
These formatting notes have to go into a book called 'Creating Help Files' under 'Help on Help'.
How do I create a black (SystemBrowser) link? How do I create a blue (ClassBrowser) link?
There also needs to be a note for in Squeak / Tutorials / Useful Expression / that any executable code may be selected and executed by CMD-D.
Noteworthy in this discussion is that we could add more content for the Installer .....(see screen shot)

This might be considered as a request for a tutorial on how to write Help browser entries with style and executable code. (within the help browser)
- Open the Help entry in the Help browser.
- Type the updated text into the Help entry.
- Cmd+6 = Colored text, Cmd+7 = bold, Cmd+8 = italics, Cmd+_ = Underline
- Press Cmd+s to save the entry with the updated text.
