first of all..did you bother to read the readme file before you installed
it? i answer all of these questions..

you have to put the aliases as the first line of the help entry..my hedit
is just a dumb editor (like george's proposed olc), and it doesn't add
them in for you..

you must unify all of your help files into one file ("help.hlp" is
default)..i did this cause it was easier than messing with multiple files,
and the seperate files were simply for organization (which you don't
really need if you are editing online)..

there's one file..and just put all of the aliases you want as the first
line of the entry..
this ought to answer the other guy's hedit question too..
