- This is not supported by Winhelp.exe. However, there's a kludgy workaround
- you can use.
-
- If you add the line
-
- SeqTopicKeys = 1
-
- to the [Windows Help] section of you WIN.INI, you then have the ability to
- cycle through the topics in your help file by pressing Ctrl-Shift-RightArrow.
- If you start with the Table of Contents, you will move sequentially through
- the file in the order in which the topics are physically in the file.
-
- Now all you need to do is use some kind of macro program, or a VB program
- that uses SendKeys (I don't know if WinHelp supports DDE or OLE), to cause
- it to print a topic, move on to the next topic, and repeat.

- Hey, I didn't say it was pretty! :^)
