Can anyone provide some assistance as how to use the HTMLHELP command to provide context-sensitive help?

Regards.

HTMLHELP <path to .chm file> { , <topic filename> }

Just set an indicator in different parts of your program to reflect the context, and then use that to determine the topic filename parameter to use.

Thanks Jules. Is it possible to trap the F1 key as well as provide a Help button or Help menu item?

Regards.

I believe the HOTKEY command will do that...

If there is a button called HELP, then a HELPBUTTON event will occur when the F1 key is pressed.
