  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)
