Help system for add-ins

["Mitchell, Sue" <Sue.Mitchell@xxxxxxxxxx>]

We have developed quite a few add-ins for our writers in FrameMaker and now
wish to have a help system for those specific add-ins.  Ideally we want a
writer to be able to select Cognos Writer's Help in the help menu and have
our own .hlp file open.  No problem getting it in the menu but I am not sure
how to get the file to open.  I tried making a simple .dll that makes a call
to winhlp32 and opens our file using the system call available in C but then
the .dll is hung until the writer closes the help file.  I read in the fdk
that I could make it work by setting a context sensitive help value for each
of our add-ins but I don't want the writers to have to do the whole shift&F1
then select a Cognos add-in deal, I want it as simple for them as possible.
I am sure this can be done but I haven't figured it out yet.  Does anyone
have any ideas out there?

Thank you in advance.
