utilities - helpview

Background:

SBTCVM v2.0.2 has a rather patchy help system. the context help is plain text, and the tutorials were based on a modified point and click game engine.

The new system:

Like the old tutorial system, the new helpview system has multiple pages, and is XML based. key difference: helpview handles all the formatting details, and is resizable, and has a streamlined codebase and xml syntax, and is now fully integrated with the context help of the latest code.

and as you can see in the screenshots, its User interface adjusts to the size of the window.

It handles multi-line text, page links, and even images.
