I am trying to write a windows help file that includes bitmaps with hotspots on
them.  I have tried to make a popup window link with a hotspot, and all that I
can get to happen so far is that the popup window get's drawn, erased, and then
I get a windows help message box stating "Help topic does not exist."  I have
tried using both the macro typewith the PopupId macro as well as the pop-up
type with the correct string.  
        Is there some trick when writing the context string, or am I going
about this the wrong way?  Any suggestions would be really appreciated.  I know
that this type of thing is possible, as the hotspot editor has it in it's help
file.  
        Thanks in advance for the advice.  If possible please mail me direct,
as well as posting, or mail direct and I will post any responses I get.  I can
be reached at zelhart2134@iscsvax.uni.edu.
