i understand what you are saying but lhelp is working, when i attempt to look up 
something that it can find, with more than one chm file... there are three of 
them in the "latest stable" documentation archive as pointed to by the wiki 
page... the biggest thing i see is that a lot of stuff, stuff i would have 
thought would have been documented first, is simply not documented...
