"No results found".

Also, there's a desktop object for Mesa 2. Inside that object is a Mesa
2 Documentation object. If I open that object with NewView and run a
search, I get 'No matches found for "template"'. And if I look in the
NewView-displayed Mesa 2 Index there are no entries for "template".

See above.

Here are the online docs in my installation:

[H:\Mesa2]dir *.hlp,*.inf
5-24-00 7:33a 845519 0 mesa2.hlp
2-19-01 2:33p 845519 0 mesa2.inf
5-24-00 7:33a 5182 0 wppalets.hlp

The two mesa2.* files are identical except for the 3rd (hlp/inf) byte.

Aha! Thanks.

I understand now. Thank you.
