This SAS Note documents an update to the paper "Adding Help and Other 
User Assistance to SAS/AF® Applications" by Marty Tomasi, published in 
the Proceedings of the Twenty Fourth Annual SAS Users Group 
International Conference. You can view this paper via the following URL:

On page 6 of this paper, the author states the following: 
 
  "Certain requirements exist when you create an HTML Help file for a 
  SAS/AF application. First, all HTML files that are called by the 
  application must exist in a directory that is named the same as the 
  compiled HTML Help (.chm) file and is a subdirectory of the path 
  containing the project (.hhp) file." 
 
This text is followed by an example which lists the following files that 
belong to an HTML Help-based help system for an application that exists 
in the file myapp.chm: 
 
   myapp.hhp 
   myapp.hhc 
   myapp.hhk 
   myappmain.htm 
   myappedit.htm 
   myappsales_1.htm 
   myappsignon.htm 
 
By following these directions, the specified help topic will display in 
an Internet Explorer browser. 
 
If you instead wish to display a specific topic in the tripane HTML 
Viewer window, you need to modify the directions slightly by naming the 
subdirectory MYAPP to MYAPP.HLP. After making this change, the example 
would then be as follows: 
 
   myapp.hhp 
   myapp.hhc 
   myapp.hhk 
   myapp.hlpmain.htm 
   myapp.hlpedit.htm 
   myapp.hlpsales_1.htm 
   myapp.hlpsignon.htm 
 
 
To avoid the use of .UDX files, the final requirement is to use one 
of the following for the helploc:// value: 
 
   helploc://myapp.hlp/edit.htm 
   helploc://myapp.chm/edit.htm 
 
The difference in the above example is the extension used for the 
subdirectory. Both .hlp and .chm work even though the subdirectory is 
actually named .hlp.
