If you just want to open it (in a separate window), you can do the
following:
-- HtmlHelp function for opening context sensitive help
constant
hh = open_dll( "hhctrl.ocx" ),
HtmlHelp = define_c_func( hh, "HtmlHelpA", {C_UINT, C_POINTER,
C_UINT, C_LONG}, C_LONG),
HH_DISPLAY_TOPIC = 0,
HH_HELP_CONTEXT = #F
Then use:
void = c_func( HtmlHelp, {0, pszFile, HH_HELP_CONTEXT, helpcontext} )
Where pszFile is a pointer to the filename, and helpcontext is the context
id number for the specific help item.

I did actually end up figuring out which library to call
and how to call it, but I was still puzzling out bringing up individual
topics.
Thanks, Matt!
