The server uses a default path if it is blank. IIRC if the path is blank
and the chm's don't exist Lazarus will tell you where to put the files.

Generally all the fileds can be blank and as long as the chm's are in
the right folder it will work.

Also last I knew you don't even have to compile lhelp since Lazarus will
build it for you.

Yep, some stuff is exciting to the masses. :)

Clearly there are some issues (perceived or real) with access to the
documentation or quantity of the documentation or form of the documentation.
