Easiest would be to add a small piece of code to the menu that launches the desired .CHM on demand. ShellExecute() does this easily:
DECLARE INTEGER ShellExecute IN Shell32 Integer, STRING @,STRING @,STRING @,STRING @,Integer
=ShellExecute(0,"OPEN",
full path of .CHM,0,0,1)
This is not in conjunction with VFP's context-sensitive help.
I've found that dropping shortcuts to the MSDN, NTFAQ and HACKFOX.CHM in my QuickLaunch bar on the taskbar is much more useful, since I often need them outside of VFP.
