Hi. And Thanks for reading.
I am running a VB 6 app with WindowsNT, and am having trouble getting any sense out of context-sensitive Help. I have a huge great Help file written in HTML Help workshop, and can access it generally without trouble. But the moment I try any Context stuff I get "HH_HELP_CONTEXT " message box with something about " Passed without a [MAP] section". What's going? The HTML Help Workshop Help Files just rant on about some .txt File containing lines beginning ".topic". Surely they're not serious? Can someone explain this to me, Please?
Thanks in advance, from a NEw guy in the HTML world,

VB's context sensitive help is for HLP files not html. Maybe the next version will support HTML, but at the moment it will not.
