SUMMARY
=======

It is possible to create multiple instances of HTML Help using the interfaces
exposed in the Foxhhelp COM object.

MORE INFORMATION
================

The code below demonstrates how to instantiate multiple copies of HTML Help
using Foxhhelp's FoxHelpDoActivateHelp method:

  *-- Change the filename to suit your installation
  lsHelpFile = "C:\Program Files\Microsoft "+ ;
  "Visual Studio\MSDN98\98VS\1033\dsmsdn.chm"
  oHelp1 = createobject("foxhhelp.foxhtmlhelp")
  oHelp2 = createobject("foxhhelp.foxhtmlhelp")
  oHelp1.foxhelpdoactivatehelp(lsHelpFile)
  oHelp2.foxhelpdoactivatehelp(lsHelpFile)

Other useful Foxhhelp methods include:

- FoxHelpDoMSDNCollection(String filename) - Instantiates an instance of HTML
  using the collection in the supplied filename.

- FoxHelpDoActivateHelp(String filename) - Instantiates an instance of HTML
  using the Help file in the supplied filename.

- FoxHelpDoContextHelp(String filename, Long dwData) - Instantiates an instance
  of HTML using the Help file in the supplied filename and context ID.

- FoxHelpDoKeywordSearch(String filename, String keyword) - Instantiates an
  instance of HTML using the Help file in the supplied filename and performs a
  keyword search using the supplied keyword.
