The help file was update and adjusted to the new Driver dialog. The change will be available in future snapshots and versions. Here are two excerpts of the changes: Concerning the "JDBC Driver Class Path" tab: "The Add button will display a File Open dialog allowing you to select one or more jar files or directories." Concerning the "SQuirreL Java Class Path" tab: "The entries in the Java Class path tab show the directories and jars in SQuirreL's class path. Note that SQuirreL does not ship drivers and that driver libs (jars) should not be copied into SQuirreL's class path. but instead should be added to the JDBC Driver Class Path and should be kept outside your SQuirreL installation directory."
