[news.eclipse.platform] Re: Help Files Offline

Hi Denis & Lee Anne

I appreciate you responding to my call for help.

I went searching for what you term the local 'host' file, or any reference 
to it, within the Texas Instrument CCE crafted Eclipse platform.  I have 
been unsuccessful in my search.  I am not sure where to look. After 
re-reading your comment I went searching thru the Windows OS sw and Admin 
tools for a reference of this kind but without success.

In the CCE directory in C:\Program Files, I found an Eclipse Directory. In 
this I found ..\configuration\org.eclipse.help.base\index\en_us and here 
are several files (1kB), an indexed_docs file (83kB) and a _rd.cfs file 
(1,019kB). What would the contents of the _rd.cfs file be about (not 
readable)?

I opened the indexed_docs file and found all the references to help being 
made to a Texas Instrument site: /com.ti.ccstudio.mainhelp.doc/html/...  
This correlates with what 
I see in the bottom left hand side of the IDE Window when I put the mouse 
pointer on the Dynamic Help section I want to go into, eg. Navigation 
Aids, C/C++ Menubar, etc.

When I go to the Welcome section and the mouse pointer is on eg. First 
Steps or Tutorials, then a "No Entry" symbol appears next to the pointer 
and nothing appears in the bottom left hand corner.

Back to the IDE regarding what you said Lee Anne: 
1) Windows -> Preferences  LHS Help -> Help Server. Fields for Host Name & 
Server Port are empty.
2) Windows -> Preferences  LHS General -> Welcome . I find the basic 
structure of the initial HELP scenario defined, i.e. Home, Overview, First 
Steps, Tutorials, etc. In little sub- windows references to eclipse files 
or web pages are made in the form of e.g. org.eclipse.jdt & 
org.eclipse.pde. What are these references?

Does this mean that TI has changed the scenario & I must refer the problem 
to them? Or are you still able to help me with part of the problem that is 
still within your scope?

Look forward to hearing further from you.
