Help Files in File Manager

File Manager represents help files as file icons with a question mark. In Figure 2-2 “File Manager view of help files” there is one source file (the one with the .sgm) and one run-time file (.sdl extension). If you double-click a markup file, your standard editor opens the file for editing. Double-clicking a (.sdl extension) file displays the run-time file using the Help Viewer.

To create a run-time help volume, first select the .sgm file icon in File Manager. Then, choose Compile from the File Manager Selected menu.
