I think | that's what I do successfully in TclAE. Yeah, tried that. That will install everything in ":Some Help" into the main Help dir. As I recall, the original folder name for TclAE ended with "docs", not "Help", So "Help:TclAE docs" would have been installed properly, especially since nothing in that folder was named "* Help". That folder was renamed just prior to the distribution of the first fc version -- so "Help:TclAE Help" never made it into an AlphaTcl updater. I know of an installation script that will work, by naming the folder Help:Statistical Modes and then renaming it at the end of the installation script, but that would mean that these lines would have to be included in any AlphaTcl updater install script as well. Assuming that this package gets included ... So I'm going to just avoid the issue altogether and keep all of the stat modes help in one massive file for now. -------- I am wondering, by the way, if anyone besides Donavan has tested this package and found it useful. I know that I like it, but I'm biased :) -- Craig ______________________________________________________________ Craig Barton Upright email: cupright@princeton.edu Department of Sociology phone: (609) 258.4539 Princeton University fax: (609) 258.2180 Princeton, New Jersey 08544 http://www.princeton.edu/~cupright/ ______________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________ AlphaTcl-developers mailing list AlphaTcl-developers@lists.sourceforge.net http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alphatcl-developers
