Q: Help is not working in CodeWarrior

A: You are quite correct about this. In order presumably to save space,
Metrowerks saw fit to rip out its own native help files from
CodeWarrior Lite (both versions). Luckily (I suppose), these help files
are not very useful anyway and you'll get much farther with the
documentation they have still included. Let me mention a few files and
where they are in the install tree:

In the folder:

c:\Program Files\Metrowerks\CW Lite for Palm OS\Documentation
\Palm OS Documentation\PDF

You'll find:

Reference.pdf
This documents all the functions you can call in Palm OS.

Companion.pdf
This contains all kinds of useful Palm OS tidbitsin a more
conversational form.

Constructor for Palm OS.pdf
This tells you about Constructor and how to use it.

Palm OS Debugging on Win.pdf
This tells you about the debugger.

Palm OS Tutorial

Windows.pdf
This leads you through an extensive Palm OS tutorial. I
would encourage you to go through it after finishing my
book.

Unfortunately, to get any of Metrowerks's own documentation, you'll
have to get trickier. Go into the Old folder on my CD and install CW 5
Lite. This version contains a bunch of
CodeWarrior documentation in the folder c:\Program Files\Metrowerks
\CodeWarrior\CodeWarrior Documentation\PDF.

Thanks to Prinya Pinying for first pointing out this problem.
