I'm sorry Brian ,
I didn't study your CHM long enough.
I DOES have the feature I like. After clicking [Get Help] in the Index tab
(but not the Find tab).
That is being able to type in only a couple of letters (not the whole word)
and look at list of posibilities as you type each letter.
It would be easy to interface your CHM with Edita buy follow the instructions
I posteda couple of post back. By substituting 'helpAPI.exe' for
'F1Jockey.hlp'.
