Easter Eggs in Clarion Help Files

OK, so I admit this is completely pointless, but it I don't write it down I'm sure it'll get forgotten.

In the early version of the Clarion help files there were certain places on the main index page that you could click on and get to 'hidden' pages in the help file.  Most (but not all) of these pages contain lists of names, names of people that TopSpeed wanted to thank for helping produce the Clarion software.

As far as I know these easter eggs were only in help files until version 2.003 - although I suspect there's one in the Clarion 4 help file, for the life of me I can't find it.  Of course, if anyone knows any differently then I'd love for them to tell me!

Open the CWHELP.HLP file and click on the "o" of the word "TopSpeed" at the bottom right of the main help page.

Clarion 1.0 - How to get to the letter to Bruce Barrington praising Clarion for Windows 

Open the CWHELP.HLP file and click on the "o" of the word "Clarion" at the top right of the main help page.

Clarion 1.501 - How to get an alphabetical list of names of TopSpeed employees

This one's a bit difficult to explain.  (If you can do it better, let me know!)

Open the CWHELP.HLP file and on the right hand side of the main page there's a pyramid. The left hand face is coloured purple at the bottom and black-with-white-dots at the top.  The right hand face is basically all blue.

Starting at the top, come down the centre line (the line that divides the faces of the pyramid) until you hit the purple area of the left face, then click the mouse.
