  I am wanting to use WinHelp with keywords but I am having trouble passing
the keyword.  I have written the following function that takes the help
filename and the keyword to look up.

void  TForm1::Callhelp(const AnsiString filename, const AnsiString keyword)
{
    WinHelp(this->Handle, filename.c_str(), HELP_KEY, (unsigned long)
&keyword);
}

  This successfully opens the WinHelp file but not at the page containing
the keyword.  It open's the WinHelp Index tab instead with garbage as the
text to look for.
  The help file for WinHelp says the last parameter should be the address of
the Keyword and the compiler says it want's it as unsigned long so what have
I got wrong ??

Thanks
James
