>Hi,
> I think I read somewhere about how to get multiple HTML help files to appear on the foxpro menu, so that you can get to which ever one you want. Now I can't find the article, and don't remember where I read it. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks.

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.
