Problem Title:
Hardware Debugger 6.0.1: Help will be disabled if the help file is
located on a network drive.



Problem Description:
If the XACTstep installation is located on a network drive, the Hardware
Debugger will be unable to load the help file "hwdebugr.hlp".



Solution 1:

To access help from the Hardware Debugger, create a local XACT directory
with a sub-directory DATA.  Copy the file "hwdebugr.hlp" from the network
XACT\DATA directory to the local XACT\DATA directory.  Then, so that the
Hardware Debugger will know to locate the file locally, modify the XACT
environment variable to include the new local directory.

Example XACT setting:

	SET XACT=E:\TOOLS\XACT;C:\XACT

Where E:\ is the network installation drive and C:\ is the local drive.
