When you want to open a Windows Help file from 4D, you can use the 4D Pack command AP HELP ON KEY.

For example, the statement AP HELP ON KEY (4D.hlp; "ALERT") will open the 4D online help, at the description of the command ALERT. In this case the 4D.hlp file should be placed next to the 4D application.
