Well, from what I hear, it's supposed to.

I rather doubt a script is supposed to be able to do that.  The whole 
point of that "manually remove the `Poison' flag" exercise would appear 
that some rogue file somehow sneaked onto your PC can't do bad things 
all by itself.

How difficult would it be to create help in proper format (just once
before the official release) that would make Windows 7 happy?

(I don't know much about windows and about its tools.)

We have to convert gnuplot.doc to the proper html format for the html help workshop.
Current program for Microsoft help works should be entirely rewritten because it uses in the rtf
format.

It is possible manually making html help workshop from the gnuplot manual in html format but it is not
convenient.

1. We have to know the html format suitable for the html help workshop.
2. Consider the program to convert gnuplot.doc to the proper html file.

I do not have enough time and knowledge to execute the above at the moment.  I hope that other persons
will contribute to make the help file in chm format, which does not require winhlp32.exe.
