the problem with this hamter is NO HELP the Help is unsupport
Try to Find a Help files (f1) working but unsuccess

 Hamster's help files are in HLP format and designed for the old
WinHlp32.exe; this format has not been supported since Windows Vista, and
WinHlp32 versions don't run after Windows 8. See
<http://support.microsoft.com/kb/917607> for more information.
 There are current help files in German as part of the Hamster Classic Beta
releases, see <https://hamster-classic.de/download:download> (you can use
Gogle Translate or Deepl). I don't have a source for current help files in
other languages.

 I use the old Winhlp32 from a WinXP it's Working , But Documentation
is simplest (english)

  Just give yourself some time to learn. Trust me, it's worth it. I've
been using Hamster for two decades now (before that, INN on a Real UNIX
TM system).

Hamster still very usefull.
I run Hamster Playground v1.25.2 for many years.
In my opinion, the helpfile is good, basically it cover every functions with examples. Win 10 and 11 run it.
I have the hierarchy "hamster.*" with old posts. Have good tips from the old users:
