You're right, you're wrong )
I need to either de-win32lib Brians' wrap of hhctrl.ocx to use a chm
file and/or wrap the WinHelp API to use .hlp files. I have searched
the archives and cannot find much evidence of success with it.
Otherwise it will just open on the index.

What I have done is allow edita.ini to contain extra entries in the 
tools section like this:
[tools]
  Database Viewer:tedb
  Verify edita.edb:vedb
  F1 Jockey:E:\Euphoria\html\f1jockey.hlp
  Euphoria.chm:E:\Euphoria\html\Euphoria.chm

(The current version tries to open f1jockey.hlp.exw etc)
I suppose I should also add an "Edit Tools" option somewhere.
When I get the time that is..

Pete
