Custom Help Files

Source Edit allows you to add an unlimited number of help files to the environment. You can add both HTML help files (*.chm) as well as older WinHelp files (*.hlp). When you do this you assign the help file to be used with one language and you can then launch the help when you are editing a document for that language. To open the help file you would either click the "Use Custom Help" menu item or by pressing the shortcut key for this command (Ctrl+F1 by default, you can assign and change shortcut keys on the Keyboard page of the Options dialog box). The corresponding topic of the selected text or the word the insertion point is currently over in the document will then be displayed if it's found. Otherwise the closest match will be selected on the Index tab of the help file.

You can add more than one help file per language. If you do so Source Edit will ask you for which help file to open when you pick the "Use Custom Help" menu item. You can also add the same help file more then once and assign it to different languages.
