Hi,

This is a question for DOS programmers, if there are any here... :)

I'm successfully using the command line for c# programming, except for one
thing - I can't startup the SDK documentation from it. To get the SDK doco I
have to startup IE on the "...\SDK\StartHere.htm", and then click the link to
the SDK doco. The item linked to is
"javascript:Link('ms-help://MS.NETFrameworkSDKv1.1/sdkstart/html/sdkstart.htm'".
I've tried every way I can think of to open that link from the command line,
and I'm stuck.

TIA,

Javaman

Try

/helpcol ms-help://MS.NETFrameworkSDKv1.1/sdkstart/html/sdkstart.htm

I've just discovered that this command starts up MSDN help from the command
line...

"%ProgramFiles%\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Help\dexplore.exe" /helpcol"
