Folks,
There is a very useful new feature in the latest EToys version. Anyone can make Quickguides. If you are teaching a curriculum, you can create subject-matter guides for your material.
Your new guides will not appear directly on the help index page. Instead, look in the "Jump To..." menu at the lower right of the QuickGuides. Your guides will appear in a new category. It will be at the bottom of the "Jump To..." menu.

To create a new guide:
Click the Help button [?] to see a guide.
Open a halo on the flap.
Copy the bookmorph out of the flap.
Use the halos to completely change the contents.
Create help pages for your new topic.
A guide can have as many pages as you want (more than 4 is OK).
When you are done, write the entire project out using
"Keep the current project". It is now a .pr file.
Name your guide using capitals to start words. The first word is the
category. All guides in a category start with the same word.
Put the .pr file into the QuickGuides folder of your language.
Close and open Quickguides. (Click the Help button [?] once to close help,
and once again to open it.)
Look in the "Jump To..." menu to see your category and guides.

(If the instructions are unclear, please post a corrected version.)
(Thank you to Kathleen Harness for showing us how creative QuickGuides can be.)
