    I finally got my chm help file working with the info in the right pane and the contents in the left pane (under contents tab) and also the index under the index tab. I have 2 questions however.

    1) How can you add a link (like a web site) to the top portion (where the hide/show Back/forward options print buttons are located ?

    2) How do you put a list of values in the pane under the 'search tab' ?

    Thanks for any help

    Well I got the web site in the top pane using Jump1 button (description web site). In the files section of modify windows I put the http address. It works fine putting the html file in the right side pane where i wanted it but when it compiles it gives me an error that it couldnt compile the http address. I assume that's because it's not a local file. Is there another way to do it ? I read the help but couldn't find anything about putting a web address in the buttons -- just links within the html which i do also.

    It also locks up my winME when i exit the help if i have called up the web site with that button though it seems to work fine with no hangup on winxp.
    What i did for that is if win95,98, or ME i use html programs run with iexplore rather than the chm file.

    Use relative links, not full links.
    example:
    index.html has a link to page2.html, page2.html resides in same directory.
    <a href= "./page2.html" target= "row1col2 ">Page 2</a>
