    Hello,

    I'm trying to activate my helpmenu (myhelpfile.cnt + myhelpfile.hlp)

    with: (command "shell" "Winhlp32.exe myhelpfile.hlp")

    It opens a new window (shell window) and opens a second window for the
    ..cnt-file
    How can i minimize the first window (shell window) ?

    Can anyone help me?

    How about using:
    (startapp "Winhlp32.exe" "myhelpfile.hlp")

    (startapp "Winhlp32.exe c:\\demo\\help_files\\hydtut.hlp")
    Just opens the Contents window, but within that window,
    all you can do is 'print', 'cancel', or 'Close' - No Minimize button.
    Bummer.

    Works fine here (using acadver 15.06)

    (startapp "Winhlp32.exe" "readme.hlp")
    -or-
    (startapp "hh.exe" "c:\\winnt\\help\\windows.chm")
