An odd problem...

[Beaulieau]

Greetings Pavilion folks, as the title of my post says, I'm experiencing a weird little problem with RPG Maker XP.

The deal is, whenever I try to call up those useful little help windows, it says "No help topic is associated with this item". I only noticed it recently, but now that I think about it, the last time I remember the help windows working properly was before I downloaded the patch, so maybe that could have something to do with it...?

I tried 'repairing' RPG Maker XP, and creating a new project, but so far no luck. Now, this isn't really a big deal, since I pretty much understand all the basics anyway, but I was wondering if anyone else had noticed this.

Also, it'd be really helpful if someone would post the little code you type into the 'show text' window to display the value of a variable, since I cannot for the life of me recall it, and with my help windows gone, I'm kinda out of luck.

Thanks for your time.

"Enter the characters to be displayed in the window.
The following control characters are available within text.
\V[n]: Replaces the value in variable #n.
\N[n]: Replaces actor #n's name.
\C[n]: Displays the following characters in font color #n.
\G: Opens the money window.
\\: Replaces character '\'.
Press [F2] to prewiew the text.
Pressing [Ctrl+Enter] is equivalent to clicking the OK button."

Sadly \N[0] doesn't work to display the name of the party in this one...
