our help file has been converted from .hlp format to .chm. we are
using powerbuilder 12.1.

The showhelp call was ShowHelp ("file.hlp", Topic!, ai_value) and is
now ShowHelp ("file.chm", Topic!, ai_value)

The showhelp works and shows the help window but the help window stays
on top of the window it was called from even if you click back on the
caller window. The caller window can be selected and used but the help
window stays on top.

Other windows can be opened but if you kept the original help window
and its caller window, then if you hit help on a new window, the help
window and its caller window both come to front they seem to be
married.

if you close the caller window but not the help window then the
marriage of help window with the caller window is broken.

if you close the help window and then open it from a window a new
marriage of help and caller window is created.

Has anyone had this problem and know how to fix it or can you give me
ideas on how to breakup this marriage?
thanks,
j.j.
