This is for a password: (this must be on the first lines)

Code:

%%password = password
if @not(@equal(@input(What is the password???,,PASSWORD),%%password))
  exit
  end


Use this if you want to send a email:

Code:
shell open,mailto:"email@email.com"


You can make a pop-up box with the MessageBox Designer tool

Here is code for an about box:
Code:
title About
  DIALOG CREATE,About,-1,0,159,108
  DIALOG ADD,STYLE,LINK,,,U,,BLUE
  DIALOG ADD,TEXT,Yourlink,16,13,,,Your link,,LINK,CLICK,HAND
  DIALOG ADD,BUTTON,OK,68,48,64,24,OK
  DIALOG SHOW
  :evloop
  wait event
  goto @event()
  :yourlinkclick
  warn your link was clicked
  shell open,"mailto:address@domain.com?subject=your subject&body=e-mail text (the parameters after the '?' are optional.)"
  goto evloop
  :okbutton
  :close
  exit


Note that you can use the format for sending e-mail like "mailto:address@domain.com", but make sure you put quotes around the mailto and address to prevent errors.

For help files, the easiest thing to do is to download Microsoft's HTML Help Workshop and write HTML files for the help, then compile into an HTML help file...

Hope this helps. Smile

VDS is not capable of making help files, but you can download the Microsoft HTML Help Compiler and editor from their web site, http://www.microsoft.com . Download that and try it out, it is really easy to create help files with it.

To launch a help file from you script, use code like:
Code:
shell open,yourfile.chm

that code kind of works, what i mean is when i click the ok it exits the program SO i put a goto statement at the end of instaed the goto will call the beginning of the program, this works BUT if i click other button first then click on exit button this about box flash open then the program exits Crying or Very sad i don't know why yet

Ya might wanna check this child window example (there's
always an extra event that must be captured when closing
child windows).
