Launching a help file from within FrameMaker

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

I am trying to launch a winhelp file from within FrameMaker but am not
having much luck.  I can create a dll that adds a menu item - Cognos Writers
Help for instance, and when they click on that it launches the correct
winhelp file but the problem is that FrameMaker remains frozen until the
winhelp file is shut down as the dll is still running the show.  Is there a
way to launch an external program and then return the control back to the
dll, have it finish and thereby allow the user to access both FrameMaker and
the external program launched?

This may be more of a C programming question so I will post it in a
different list also but I was wondering if any Frame developers had any
light to shine on this issue.

Thank you for your help.
