hh.exe keyword parameter

[Jason Us]

I am looking for a way to pass a keyword into a chm file command line.
I believe you could do this with winhelp.exe -k. Can't seem to find
the same or anything similar for hh.exe.

any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

HH.exe accepts a very small number of parameters, and unfortunately
these don't include an index keyword. For more information on the
available parameters, see:

You may want to look at an executable called keyhh.exe, which supports
more command-line options than hh.exe (including passing a KLink or
ALink keyword) and which you can freely distribute with your
applications. See:

Thanks Pete. I'll check it out, but having to distribute an extra exe
with my install is certainly not ideal. Although it looks like the
olny way to do it.
