In some situations, you may want to create a Help project that has multiple Help files. A multi-file Help project is one in which several .HLP files work together to provide users complete information about a product. Even though each .HLP file is separate, users can jump from one Help file to another just as they can within a single Help file.
The process for building a multi-file Help project is slightly different from the process for building a single Help file.
To build a multi-file Help project
1.1.Set up a directory structure appropriate for your Help project.
2.2.Create a Help project file (.HPJ) for each Help file in the project.
3.3.Create a batch file to build all the files in the project.
