I have no idea what you are trying to achieve. This post makes no sense.

I had the same impression

Maybe they want to know how to launch a .chm to specific topic (some sort of CSH?)

Hi, PDU_83,

If you want to open a specific topic in a .chm file from the MS-DOS command line, the command to use is as follows:

HH.EXE ms-its:path_to/HelpFile.chm::/path_to/TopicFile.htm

For example:

HH.exe ms-its:C:\Windows\Help\htmlhelp.chm::/prjfile.htm

Or you can use the following command to pass in the context integer to which you have mapped the required topic:

HH.EXE -mapid context_id path_to/HelpFile.chm

For example:

HH.EXE -mapid 1001 C:\Windows\Help\htmlhelp.chm

In both cases, you can omit the path to the .chm file if it is in the %windir%\Help directory or registered under the following key in the Windows registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\HTML Help
