Seems unlikely - they are just html.

I think that this statement is oxymoronic. That's not a jab at you
Emmanuel : )
Since they are html you can open them in a browser and there ( in some
browsers ) you can enlarge the text easily.
Unfortunately many of the links are not really links. They are calls to
run applescripts!
help:runscript="AppleScript Guidebook:scr:setupgoto.scr"STRING="AppleScrip
t Guidebook:bscscom:pgs:bscscom.01.html"
these appear to be calls to handlers within the help folder. this one
calls...
--Processed with Listserv Mangler v1.0 ; )
on +event helphdhp; (the page_path)
tell application "Finder"
copy the bounds of the window of the desktop to {h, v,
monitor_width, monitor_height}
end tell
set the help_folder to (the path to help folder) as text
tell application "Help Viewer"
activate
set bounds of window 1 to {6, 42, 480, monitor_height - 6}
try
set the help_file to ((the help_folder & the page_path) as text)
as alias
open the help_file
on error error_message
display dialog error_message buttons {"OK"} default button 1
end try
end tell
end +event helphdhp;
Hmmmm. I wonder if that applescript plugin that runs scripts in your browser
would make them function? I'll have to play with that tonight.
