Hmm, that's not exactly how I imagined to tackle this... I'm currently 
making really heavy use of cross-linking between topics and randomly 
picking individual files out of that is not going to be very productive 
IMO, especially if you're going to change the file names. If you could 
tell me how you're implementing the link between framework and help 
files I could possibly adapt my current project as a whole to it, e.g. 
if I should use special anchors or file name conventions, etc.

When I added context-sensitive HTMLHelp support to one of our own apps. 
I simply associated each dialog with an explicit URL (in contrast to 
something auto-generated from the dialog resources or whatever) inside 
the help file and each control on those dialogs worthy of documentation 
with an anchor inside that associated file (still allowing an individual 
override for links to other URLs as well). This way our documentation 
writer could pretty much just hack away without caring about the 
implementation details in the app while I kept the links up-to-date.

For now I have updated the files at the link I supplied.
