As of this year 2021, it is the section 10 of the official handbook: http://mtpaint.sourceforge.net/handbook ... ap_10.html
In the time between releases, the most up-to-date manual can be found here: https://github.com/wjaguar/mtpaint_hand ... master/src
(HTML pages under docs/ may need regenerating from these source files, if not updated in the same commit as them)

Software necromancy? :)
Current version is 3.50.05, and it accumulated several nontrivial bugfixes and improvements since 3.49.25.

As far as I know, a handbook reflecting any changes by the recent upgrade is not yet available. But it is likely that the Handbook for 3.40 will explain most of what you want to know. It's available here, https://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/p ... es-noarch/. No-arch so can be used on any Puppy. But that's probably because all the pet does is locate html files in /usr/share/doc.

To make it more accessible, I've attached a Menu pet.

mtpainthandboot_Menu-3.40.pet
(3.41 KiB) Downloaded 86 times

It consists of two files, one of which is /usr/share/applications/mtpaint-handbook.desktop. That text file reads:

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Name=mtPaint Handboot
GenericName=mtPaint Handbook
Comment=documentation for painting program
Type=Application
Exec=defaulthtmlviewer /usr/share/doc/mtpaint/index.html
Icon=/usr/share/pixmaps/Readme1.jpg
Categories=X-Graphic-paint
Keywords=graphics;documents
MimeType=html

Note that I've assigned it to the Graphics menu category. You may want to reassign it by changing the argument following Categories=. You probably will need to change the Exec= argument.. The pet was developed under Fossapup where dillo was builtin and assigned as default htmlviewer. Many new Puppys default indirectly to using abiword or geany and document's internal html links are broken. If you find that to be the case, edit "defaulthtmlviewer" to read "defaultbrowser" or to the executable of the web-browser you would prefer.
