Eric,
there is a mess in winhelp and winhlp32 in "Context" and "Topic" concept:
what winhelp calls "topic", winhlp32 calls "context", and what winhelp
calls "Context" winhlp32 calls "Topic without CNT section".
So, the buttons are messed too.
I suspect there are other "features".
We couldn't implement winhlp32 and winhelp in one box.
I suggest to at least get rid of old winhelp interface in favor of winhlp32,
and create symlink winhelp->winhlp32 in windows directory.
Does it save the day?

richedit sound very good - select/copy very easy! (but riched32 is not
complete yet)
