So, your using GAPIDraw and want to display help information. What's the best (fastest, easiest, etc) way to include multi page help that works with GAPIDraw?

Thanks

In Warlords, I stored my tutorial help info in flat, pipe delimited text files which I read in as needed. This makes it easy to both edit and internationalize for different languages. Each line of text is context sensitive, and I read in only up to the required line. The pipe delimiters let me pre-format the text to fit within whatever size popup dialog I choose to use.

Thinking outside the box... record yourself reading the help and play it back as an mp3... :D
