I'm pretty sure that the native OS won't let you kill the process and
close the app.  The best you'll get is detaching yourself from the
process.

You could always convert the hlp file to HTML and use an HTML bean to
display the info from your application.  Far more portable that way.

If you see something that looks like an opinion up there,
it's mine and mine alone.

Mail sent to me from the newsgroups won't bounce but will
be ignored.  If I have time, I'll respond, but you  have
a better chance if you confine your posts to the newsgroups
