Can anyone tell me how to display Window's new compiled help files (.CHM) from a button? The older (.HLP) files could be accessed with WinHelp, but I can't seem to get that API to work.

I've found 'some' solutions in MSDN to my problem...
Windows uses the HH.EXE file to start a Help.CHM
Therefore: x& = SHELL("hh.exe help.chm") works but...
I'm using
Win98 SE
hh.exe exists in c:\Windows
Does it exist in all versions Win95/98/2000 and Win NT in the Windows path?
MSDN mentions using html.dll (in SDK - HTML Help References) but I can't find it even though I've got HTML Help compiler.
Any other ideas would be welcomed.
Thanks in Advance,

Bob,
I've got Windows Millenium (Beta 3) and Windows 2000 and the hh.exe file exists in the Windows Path (C:\Windows and D:\WinNT, respectively). About that html.dll file, could that be a typo and be MSHTML.DLL instead? Just a thought.
