Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I appreciate the text help file display for the right pane. It would be great if in addition or instead it would allow icon or link-based list of the manuals/documents that go with a given game file.

Describe the solution you'd like
Right side pane supports thumbnail icons and text label for the different associated document files including pdf, ePub,mobi, png, jpg. Clicking the icon or label will open that file. The pane sizes can be dynamically resized allowing the file to be viewed at a suitable size.

Describe alternatives you've considered
embedding apple2ts into a website that has the pane on the side with other code to accommodate.

Additional context
Ideally it is an option if the apple2 emulator pauses when you open the documentation or when the cursor moves onto that pane, allowing the user to read through the documents without the game/app continuing to progress.

I had misunderstood how this project works. It would be ideal if it could scan an available directory for disk images and associated art/manuals/etc either at runtime or during build so that it could be deployed with more software.

Chris,
This enhancement request is very similar to what we discussed at Kansasfest. My issue on the iPad was not being able to get the debugger where I wanted it so I could step through and see the changes on the display without scrolling. Being able to bring up a PDF (like Assembly Lines) on the right or or below, and having the ability to size the different key elements (screen, debugger or documentation) would be great.
