Ginna,
Create an alias section in your .hpj file to map the program's context
strings to help file topics. The section begins with:
[ALIAS]
and the entries list the program's context string on the left and
the help topic's context ID on the left, so:
framis_dialog=help_topic_97
Since your tool generates a new .hpj every time you process files,
I suggest maintaining the aliases in a separate file and pasting
the section into the .hpj at compile-time.
