Thanks - glad you like it.

I cannot reproduce this in SVN trunk or 1.4.nearly3. If you look in the
contents tree of the helpfile, do you see the PostgreSQL and Slony
documentation listed?

Yeah - if you're hardcore enough to create op classes then you'll
probably not using pgAdmin, or at least are using the query tool.

Unfortunately I can't see any way to do that - it's the Microsoft HTML

The bug report thing is just an HTML page atm. I may find time to
enhance it this release cycle, but it's not the highest of priorities
I'm afraid.

Thanks for the feedback.
