I am on Windows 11 23H2.  I right clicked on XanaNews.chm and
selected properties.  I don't see that message anywhere.  When I
click on Help >

the "blank" xananews.chm occurred on my windows 7 pc, but in windows
11 pc works fine; windows 11 is unnecessarily complicated and less
user-friendly than its predecessors, e.g., to install a program from
"unknown publisher" it makes you click personalize ... privacy &
security ... windows security ...reputation-based protection ... app
& browser control ... check app and files ... switch (temporarily,
rather permanently) to "off" ... and voila!  (whether or not that
fixes your "blank" xananews.chm anomaly, i cannot say) also, and
every program i've tested that runs on win 7 also runs on win 11, but
some essential programs, like tor browser, will soon nix win 7 support

I don't get anything "blank", it just doesn't do anything at all when I
click on the Help options, except for Help > About.

Strange.  I install programs from all over the place and I've never had
any issues or problems.  I'm sure some of the the program publishers
would be "unknown" to Windows.  I've never had to go through that chain
of prompts.

I posted on this newsgroup because I couldn't see the Help for the
program.  There is probably a way to make it work, but I couldn't find
any clues when I searched.
