-. "(ÿ;þ; Ä¿³ÿ0þ Tip - Eliminating a Linkþ ÿ;³Æþ; ͵³ÿ0þ There is no special option for deleting a hyperlink. ÿ;³³ÿ0 However there are many options that remove hyperlinks if ÿ;³³ÿ0 that operation is performed on a hyperlink(s). If you ÿ;³³ÿ0 desire to eliminate a link without disturbing the screen ÿ;³³ÿ0 contents, choose the Fill Area command (Alt F). Place the ÿ;³³ÿ0 cursor on the link you wish to remove, press ALT F and ÿ;³³ÿ0 then the ENTER key. This will effectively "fill" over the ÿ;³³ÿ0 link, thus destroying it. Although the text of the link ÿ;³³ÿ0 is still present, it is no longer active.þ ÿ;³Ãþ; Ä´³ÿ0 See: ÿ:ÿ0Tipsÿ:ÿ0 ÿ:ÿ0Add Hyperlinkÿ:ÿ0 ÿ:ÿ0Fill Areaÿ:ÿ0 ÿ:ÿ0Contentsÿ:ÿ0þ ÿ;³Àþ; ÄÙ

For this reason it is a good idea to first save ÿ;³³ÿ0 sensitive screens before editing them on to the clipboard ÿ;³³ÿ0 (Copy command, F7). Another safeguard against this is to ÿ;³³ÿ0 make a backup copy of the screen file. This can be done ÿ;³³ÿ0 with the Save As function. Specify the same name as your ÿ;³³ÿ0 current file to create a backup.þ ÿ;³Ãþ; Ä´³ÿ0See: ÿ:ÿ0Tipsÿ:ÿ0 ÿ:ÿ0Undoÿ:ÿ0 ÿ:ÿ0Redoÿ:ÿ0 ÿ:ÿ0Copy Blockÿ:ÿ0 ÿ:ÿ0Save Asÿ:ÿ0 ÿ:ÿ0Contentsÿ:ÿ;³Àþ; ÄÙ + & *0 4;(ÿ;þD Ä¿³ÿ0þ Tip-Color Usageþ ÿ;³ÆþD ͵³ÿ0þ Color usage is very important to the effectiveness of your ÿ;³³ÿ0 online help.

Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!
This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.
But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
