OK, here's the deal:
A CBT author is creating a CBT in Icon Author for Win 3.1.
Fine.
He wants to make context-sensitive references to WinHelp topics.
Fine.
He wants glossary terms to display in a popup.
Uh Oh!
He's calling the Help topics like this:
winhelp.exe -i context_string filename.hlp
What does he have to do to this command line to let winhelp.exe know
to display the topic as a popup? Or is it on the Help author's side?
