Why yes, MS Help Workshop.  <g>  Open it, choose View > WinHelp Messages,
a Messages1 window opens, choose View > Message Options..., and click
the top box for "WinHelp messages invoked by programs", then OK.  Now
run your program, and hit F1 with your object selected; you'll see:

  HELP_CONTEXT: 20629 -- X:\AGENT2\AGENT.HLP>MAIN

if you happen to be running Agent and pick the Compose window.  You
have type of command, the context ID, the WinHelp file name, and the
WinHelp window being used.  Enjoy!
