NEW 22240 iMac: How do I connect to the Internet with PPP - Help Issue
There appears to be something wrong with one of the Help scripts on my iMac. When I perform the following steps looking for help with PPP, at some point I keep looping back to the same questions. Is there a way around this?
Here are the steps I followed: 1. Press the Help key on the keyboard, or choose Help from the menu bar. 2. Click Index button. 3. Choose the letter "I" in the alphabet selector. 4. Choose, Internet. 5. Choose, How do I connect to the Internet with PPP? and click OK. 6. At the first dialog box, click the right arrow to proceed. 7. At the second dialog box, click the right arrow again. 8. You are prompted to choose Control Panels from the Apple Menu - do this and click the right arrow. 9. You are prompted to double-click the Remote Access control panel- do this. The Remote Access control panel will open. 10. Click the right arrow to proceed. 11. At this point, the Help script does not appear to recognize that I have opened the control panel, so the script corrects me, and attempts to open the Remote Access control panel. You will see the control panel window flash momentarily. 12. Click Continue. 13. You are sent or looped back to the "Double-click on the Remote Access control panel to open it" dialog box, and you cannot go any further.
