I have left the tutorial section as links, but intend to convert these to offline in due course (where it is possible). Of course since I started this exercise, some topics may have been updated (I have noticed some of the QB64PE specific keywords were last edited in late June and there may be more).

That's the advantage of a .CHM help file in Windows.  All the information is there in a clear format wherever you are and whether or not you have access to the internet.   Whilst the QB64 Help File reproduces this, I'm not keen on the format and much prefer a .CHM help file.  At the end of the day everybody uses whatever method they prefer.  That's why I am producing the Wiki in .CHM, PDF and Word formats.  I will, in due course produce it in HTML format also.

One thing that would be useful on your IDE, particularly since it is unique to Windows, would be the ability to open a .chm help file from the menu.

I would like a configurable button on the commands of QB64 with which I could launch a defined application.
Example: read a CHM file or open a PDF file...
Why not yes ?

I have completed the conversion of the QB64PE Wiki.  I have provided it in the .CHM, PDF and Microsoft Word formats and put the lot in a zip file which can be downloaded from here https://www.dropbox.com/s/0mc168pm01r7vj...i.zip?dl=0.

There are a couple of necessary internet links in the Articles and Tutorials section.  I don't know if I am permitted to include Terry Ritchie's QB64 Games Tutorial (perhaps someone can advise) and the School Freeware tutorial is Youtube.

Also, some parts of the Wiki may have been updated after I completed them.  I will trawl through as soon as I can.

I intend to produce an html version that can be compiled with the Microsoft HTML Compiler in due course.  This will enable anyone interested to update the Wiki in CHM format in the future without my input.

I would like a link to be provided for the CHM file on both the QB64PE IDE and Dav's IDE.  Perhaps consideration could be given.

Correct, but I didn't see it until after I had posted.
