The files needed from Kylix3
Since most of us have been coding in either Delphi or Kylix, you probably already have these files "lying around someplace". This section is to show how to implement context sensitive help (CTRL-F1) on a linux installation. These are the files and directorys needed from the ${HOME}/Kylix/help:

Custom Tool setup in IDE
In summary
Just place your cursor in the edit window on the word you want to find help for and press CTRL-F1. The Kylix help will then open up the context sensitive help page for that keyword.
