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

No I don't. I accedentally deleted my Euphoria directory last month with most of my code . But, it shouldn't we tricky to call it. Look at Liberty BASIC, then translate come code. - Nate Irv wrote: > Nate Brooman wrote: > > > > I called Userdll32.exe to call help by the way. > > > > - Nate > > > Nate: do you still have the code that calls it? > > Thanx, > > Irv
