Thanks Brian,
Yes - the PDF Help File can have all those things and more :)
I like that images can be embedded, making additional subfolders & image files unnecessary.
Plus, it's easier to write a PDF in MS Word than make an HTML file and mess with all the formatting tags.
Also, you could have multiple Help files as MS Word can translate into another language before saving as PDF. That may be an option in cases where translating the script's controls would cause text labels, dropdowns, sliders, and inline check boxes to no longer fit the allotted space.
I chose to name and place the three related script files:
FooBar.js
FooBar.htm
FooBarHelp.pdf
together inside the commands subfolder because:
1) It keeps the files clustered together in the file manager list, thus easy to see everything related to a given script at once.
2) I hate hunting through subdirectories unless they are absolutely necessary to keep things organized.
