Hello All,

I've created a chm file using Framemaker and WebWorks. The help is working
erratically from the application. The only tool I have for debugging the api
calls is HTML Help Workshop, but the View>Messages options is not capturing
any api calls, not even for the elements that work.

I have searched the archive and trolled the internet, and have come up with
endless advice on debugging the html portion of html help. Is there anyone
out there who has information or reliable search criteria for debugging the
techie side of it. Are there common tools for this that I'm just missing?

I do this very liably with the Help Workshop for winhelp. So I do have some
idea of what I'm looking for, but I can't do anything if I can't capture the
api calls coming from the program. Sigh.

Thanks for any assistance,

Judy
