HELP REQUIRED - Generating a custom map file for HTML Help using WebWorks

[Nitin Mehrotra <writer_writes -at- hotmail -dot- com>]

 Hi All,

I am trying to generate an HTML Help using WebWorks (WWP) which will 
subsequently be integrated with the wizards. Clicking the Help button 
from the wizad will display a dialog level help for that particular 
wizard page. As I understand, best practice is to get map IDs from the 
engineers and include them in the Frame sources in the form of 
TopicAlias* markers. Having done this, generating the WWP project should 
create a map file (.h) with the markers that were specified in the 
sources. With this approach, the map file should ideally have entires 
similar to this:

       #define IDD_INFO_PAGE    11001
       #define IDD_FS_PAGE        11002
       #define IDD_USER_PAGE   11003
       #define IDD_LISTSHARES   11016
       #define IDD_FILEONOFF     11061

Instead, WWP is generating a map file (<proj_name>.h) with tag and map 
IDs for all 1Heads, 2Heads, and maybe 3Heads too. The contents of the 
file are similar to this:

       #define splash_html 1000 /* Heading 1 */
       #define 00preface_html 1001 /* Heading 2 */
       #define 00preface2_html 1002 /* Heading 3 */
       #define 00preface3_html 1003 /* Heading 4 */
       #define 00preface4_html 1004 /* Heading 5 */

I also tried using a macro that takes the name of the custom map file as 
input. Although this did not stop WWP from creating the default map 
file, the .hhk file created by WWP does *include* the custom map file 
name under the [MAP] head.

I will appreciate if I can get answers to the following questions:

a. How do I get WWP to generate the custom map file with the entries 
that I provide as TopicAlias* markers?
b. How do I restrict WWP from generating the default map file?
c. Is there something else I need to do?

Thanks and Regards,
~Nitin
