In the
Tools Menu, Configure Tools and Add,
Title: Delphi5 Win32SDK
Program: WINHLP32
Working Dir: C:\Program Files\Common
Files\Borland Shared\MSHelp
Parameter: WIN32.HLP

Anyone know how?"I'm sure there's a way using Tools api thingie,But I have resorted to two methods, one is calling an exe from Tools, that I've made myself that lets me drag and drop shortcuts on to it and it remembers them under categories for launching later - very simplistic but effective and hopefully some what future proofs me - you can have the code if you want it - only made it for myself in D4 days so it is very simple.The second more immeadiate solution is to create batch files(!) and you can add these to theMENU: tools/ configigure tools BUTTONS: Add / BrowseObvious but worth mentioning: - change the file filter to *.*I've got one called "win32.bat" and all that is in it is"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Borland Shared\MSHelp\win32.hlp"Windows does the rest!
