Please help me !!
I'm very sad for it
I'm waiting for your reply. Thank you.

 

The message at startup usually means there is an error in the hlib$extern.pkg file for declaring external packages, e.g. an unescaped newline when defining the 'helpdb' string at the bottom, or an unclosed quote around the package path. Please check this file and post it if you can't find the problem.-Mike
