If you have a printed manual that accompanies your host based software product and have converted it to Adobe Acrobat format, you can modify the ZTERM 2000 installation to include a toolbar button and menu item to launch the Acrobat viewer and your file.

If you want to use this feature you need to:

Get your documentation into Acrobat format and get it well indexed.
Install ZTERM 2000 into a new folder
Add your .PDF file to the ZTERM 2000 folder. You can also add your splash bitmap (ZTERM.BMP), GDI printing bitmaps and any other files you might need.
Add the following to the registry entries to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\COOL.STF\ZTERM for Windows\Product" as part of your setup (see the InstallShield Express documentation for details). All values must be defined as REG_SZ. These values will be cloned to the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\COOL.STF\ZTERM for Windows\Configurations hive when a profile is created with the profile wizard.
DocumentationPDF=file-name.pdf
DocumentationMenu=Text to put on the Help Menu
DocumentationTooltip=Tooltip for the toolbar
Use InstallShield Express to re-generate the ZTERM 2000 setup. You can obtain the .IWZ file needed to do this from the download page where you obtainied the ZTERM distribution.

ZTERM also supports an enhanced application support system - setup is pretty close to the simple method documented here, but requires some escape sequences sent from the host for configuration purposes.
