Thanks so much for all your help. It looks like xchm is working for you. Still not for me. I've included a screenshot of what I see. It's odd because there are so few options - it seems like it ought to work "right out of the box". But I think you may have nailed it. I don't have chmlib installed. I tried to install it, with no success: # aptitude install chmlib Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Reading extended state information Initializing package states... Done Building tag database... Done No candidate version found for chmlib No packages will be installed, upgraded, or removed. 0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Need to get 0B of archives. After unpacking 0B will be used. I guess once I install chmlib, xchm will work? How do I install it if aptitude doensn't know about it (I tried aptitude update). I run a Debian testing system, but pull unstable for a few choice selected packages.
