MORE INFORMATION
================

The code below demonstrates how to instantiate multiple copies of HTML Help
using Foxhhelp's FoxHelpDoActivateHelp method:

  *-- Change the filename to suit your installation
  lsHelpFile = "C:\Program Files\Microsoft "+ ;
  "Visual Studio\MSDN98\98VS\1033\dsmsdn.chm"
  oHelp1 = createobject("foxhhelp.foxhtmlhelp")
  oHelp2 = createobject("foxhhelp.foxhtmlhelp")
  oHelp1.foxhelpdoactivatehelp(lsHelpFile)
  oHelp2.foxhelpdoactivatehelp(lsHelpFile)

  instance of HTML using the Help file in the supplied filename and performs a
