This doesn't work on windows (vista) and SciTE 2.01:

command.help.subsystem.$(file.patterns.php)=4
command.help.$(file.patterns.php)=$(CurrentWord)!C:\p h p
\php_manual_en.chm

but, this work correctly :

command.help.subsystem.$(file.patterns.php)=4
command.help.$(file.patterns.php)=$(CurrentWord)!C:\php
\php_manual_en.chm

If the chm path has spaces, context-sensitive help doesn't work!

Any idea?

Put it in a path without spaces... :-P

I don't have a Vista computer at hand but I just tried on one with
Windows 7 64bit (upgraded from Vista) and I had no issue with a path
with spaces.

What about quoting it? e.g.: command.help.$(file.patterns.php)="$
(CurrentWord)!C:\p h p\php_manual_en.chm"

Probably a bad idea to include the current word in the quoting.
I had the same idea and quoted the path only, and... it stopped working!

The path is provided as is to the HtmlHelpA Win32 function, I don't see why it wouldn't
work on Vista when it works on XP and Win7. MS mysteries?
