Hi there,
I want to add a help system to an application I am creating
for my degree. I have created a .hlp file (Windows Help File) and a
..cnt file (Contents Help File) with the shareware help authoring tool
called HelpScribble. I know that I can tell BCB 4 IDE where my .hlp
file is by clicking Project|Options - Application tab and selecting
the browse button. However the problem is that I will have to
demonstrate the application on a different machine (not my PC) so I
will need to employ relative path names to the files.

I know also that I can use the line of code below in a Click Event for
the Help Button to execute the .hlp file from my application

Application->HelpFile = "MyApp.hlp";

The problem is that calling the .hlp file this way means the .cnt file
is not loaded as well. The .cnt file basically creates the Contents
Tab you see on any WinHelp system

I would like that both the .hlp and .cnt files are executed. Does
anybody know how to achieve this? Thanks (I hope I have explained the
problem clearly enough)
