General.ctg is now your new Hiarcs732 book. Hi Pete, This is exactly what i performed as instructed: 1.I downloaded the service pack into a file that i have marked as downloads in my c:\\ 2.There is now a zipped file that i unzipped that went into a file marked unzipped on my c:\\ This now became two files: H732book.hbk and a readme file 3.I then started Hiarcs and created an empty book and called it H732.ctg 4.I now hit save which saved it in Hiarcs folder but should i have made a seperate folder under Hiarcs for this? It shouldn't matter i believe! 5.Then a empty book tree appeared and i proceeded to the next step: 6.I pressed Alt,Shift and then G and also clicked all the keys at once but nothing happens! So this is where i stopped,can you help me from here? Best regards, Terry
