The Lotus Help Demo for "File/Retrieve" ("/fr") and "Worksheet/Erase/Yes" ("/wey") will close the active worksheet at the start of the demo. If the new active document is minimized, the demo will halt and return to "Ready" mode without completing the demo.

WORKAROUNDTo work around this problem, make sure that all active documents are maximized when you use Lotus Help. STATUS
