Thanks hamradio

I am about to implement an online help system into SkyIDE. This is how it will work.

E.g: Word at carot is "file". You press F2 and Google opens up searching for that word.
Another example: Word at carot is getline(), you press F2 and Google opens up searching for that word.

I wish there was some C++ help file in a Windows Help file format or in a HTML with JavaScript format which I can freely re-distribute. I would pass the selected word to the JavaScript engine to search for the keyword where it would bring up that page.

For now, I will use Google, if there is anything else I could use, let me know.

Later on I will provide an option for more search engine choices....


I hope I am not violating any rights?
