I' trying to get this working. I've got my COBOL programs modified with HELP-IDs and a "?" graphic so I can get a "Context Senitive help" pop-up to show. I've got a program that the "HELP_PROGRAM" config variable defines with my call to $WINHELP; and it seems to be working. I've also used Microsoft's HTML Help Workshop program to set up a Project, and have Text-Pop-Ups defined with my *.h file and *.txt files properly defined. BUT ...... I get an error message from HTML Help "HH_HELP_CONTENT called without a [MAP] section." as an error. .
Has anyone been successful at getting this to work. Is there a sample program, or *.chm file that AcuCOBOL developers have ?

Thanks

    I presume it is a typo? That it should be HH_HELP_CONTEXT, not HH_HELP_CONTENT?
    Q quick googler did uncover quite a bit of references of the former. For instance: http://www.helpware.net/htmlhelp/how_to_merge.htm#ContextHelpIDs
