You're quite welcome. Don't know if there might be a better way to deal
with the particular program's help files. Might be worth checking the
maker's website for a possible fix, or searching usenet on the name of the
program. If you do end up changing security settings, I found that it did
not seem to take effect until a reboot, don't know if that is always true,
but try it if it's not seeming to change.
