    How can I add additional .HLP files to the C++Builder IDE's integrated�Help system?

    Answer/Solution:

    This is best illustrated using an example.� Below is a simple�example that�demonstrates how to add .HLP files to the integrated�Help system.��Here, we add WIN32.HLP to the IDE Help system in C++Builder 6:

    --------------------
    To add the Win32 Help files to the C++Builder 6 IDE, do the following.

    (1)
    Navigate to the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Borland Shared\MSHelp directory and open WIN32.CNT in Notepad. Copy the following lines:�
    :INDEX Win32 Programmer's Reference = WIN32.HLP
    :INCLUDE WIN32SDK.CFG
    :INCLUDE WIN32.TOC�

    (2)
    Navigate to the C:\Program Files\Borland\CBuilder6\Help directory and open BCB6.CNT in Notepad. Paste the three lines you just copied above the line that reads ":Include bcb6.ohc".�

    (3)
    After saving the changes made above, copy all files named WIN32*.* from the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Borland Shared\MSHelp directory into the C:\Program Files\Borland\CBuilder6\Help directory.

    After doing this, open the C++Builder 6 IDE, and you will see that the Win32 Help files have been integrated. You can now look up Win32 API functions.
