I'm getting so frustrated.  It seems I am the only one having trouble creating help pages.

There is no example on how to create a help page.  I've read the addhelp in the maple help page again and again and I'm still having trouble.

I'm trying to create a help page named PhysicsEquations under a folder named UserCreatedPages in the maple help table of contents.  This is what I have done.

I've created a directory c:/Program Files/Maple 12/Userlibrary

Then I've added a maple.ini file in the C:/Program Files/Maple 12 directory with the contents   libname:=`c:\Program Files\Maple 12\Userlibrary`,libname:

Next I go and open a new document mode worksheet and enter a title and a few equations  etc...

Then I go to Tools -- > Help Database -- > Save as help page...

Select writeable database - Then I see a list of files c:\program files\maple 12/lib\maple.hdb  etc... but I have no idea why there's backwards and forward slashes and no indication in the help files why it is like that. 

So at this point I type in the directory location c:\program files\maple 12\Userlibrary for the writeable database

Topic: PhysicsEquations

Aliases: I leave this one blank

Table of Contents: UserCreatedPages

Click on okay then close Maple, open it up and look in the help pages and nothing.  There's no entry in the table of contents for my created help page. 

Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong and what I'm missing?

Maples response was that there is currently no way to get it into the menu bar.  This was communicated to the developers and has been submitted as a request to be put into future versions. 

I kind of wondered why there was a toolbox folder where add-ons went in to, and yet there was no menu bar with a toolbox option.  Maybe that's what they will come up with in a future version. 

Maybe also they can come up with an option in the options menu to toggle on and off the triangles at the side of a document, unless by turning them off it infringes on other document writing software patents.
