Switching HTML Help files on the fly: caching problems?

[Derk Ederveen <derke -at- accountview -dot- com>]

We have an application, built in Microsoft FoxPro, with an online language 
switch. The user can select e.g. "Language/English" or "Language/Dutch" to 
switch the interface language without leaving the application.

We're having trouble switching the help file as well. Steps:
1. Start application (default language, e.g. Dutch)
2. press F1 => HTML Help file opens (slowly) in Dutch
3. Select Language/English (everything now in English)
4. press F1 => HTML Help file opens (quickly) in Dutch
If step 2 is not performed, step 4 opens the English help file.

The underlying calls are correct: first to file avwin.chm in subdirectory 
NL, then to the same file in subdirectory UK. In case it matters: we use 
modular help, the avwin.chm is the 'hub' for some 10 underlying help files.

What are we doing wrong? Is there a way to force re-initialisation of the 
help file or to clear the cache? We do need to use equal file names for the 
various languages though.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts on this one. Please contact me 
directly, I will summarize to the list.
