1. Still no help on Help

Well, I am able to run WinHelp by calling WinExec (in kernel32.dll)...
but,
1. That's not the way the books say to do it (I've got 3, plus
MicroSoft's
help compiler and instructions, plus some other code in C++ that calls
the help
engine, and
2. There's no way to pass topics or anything to the help engine, so
context-
aware help is not available.

The books say to call WinHelp in user32.dll. It does not owrk.
It does not work, either. Anybody know why? If you've got it working
in C or Perl, or whatever, please send me the code. I'll try to
translate.

Thanks,
Irv

I called Userdll32.exe to call help by the way.

Nate: do you still have the code that calls it?

No I don't. I accedentally deleted my Euphoria directory last month with
most of my code sad. But, it shouldn't we tricky to call it. Look at
Liberty BASIC, then translate come code.
