I'm not sure about the correct terminology here... but, is
it possible to pass a book mark or link 'tag' to Euphoria.chm?
I am able to implement html context sensitive help very easily
in my version of ed.ex like this:
if EU_HTML_CONTEXT_HELP then
if find(word[1],{'a','b'}) then
document = "lib_a_b.htm"
elsif find(word[1],{'c','d'}) then
document = "lib_c_d.htm"
elsif find(word[1],{'e','f','g'}) then
document = "lib_e_g.htm"
elsif find(word[1],{'h','i','j','k','l','m','n','o'}) then
document = "lib_h_o.htm"
elsif find(word[1],{'p','q', 'r'}) then
document = "lib_p_r.htm"
elsif find(word[1],{'s','t'}) then
document = "lib_s_t.htm"
elsif find(word[1],{'u','v','w','x','y','z'}) then
document = "lib_u_z.htm"
end if
run_file( HTML_HELP_DIR & document & '#' & word, 0)
end if

run_file( HTML_HELP_DIR & document & '#' & word, 0)

Can Euphoria.chm be opened to a specific article in a similar
manner? I suppose if someone can show me how its done in Windows
I can probably figure out how to do it under Linux, if possible.

You mean context sensitive help. The answer is yes. Here is the link
to the MSDN documentation on using the MS Help API:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/htmlhelp/html/vsconApiref.asp
You'd have to read the docs on whatever linux app you're using to view the
chm file, but it's pretty likely that they'd support this somehow. Tbrowse,
which is part of EuCOM uses context sensitive help for browsing typelibs
(if it's available, of course). Take a look at the procedure
memberhelp_click() in TBrowse.exw in EuCOM for an example of how to use
it--pretty simple, actually.
