particular resource of type 'hdlg' or 'hrct' and, if the resource is

found, use it for the active window. (If you want this capability

without modifying your code, you can add a helpItem item to your

'DITL' resources or add an 'hwin' resource-as described elsewhere

in two independent sections,

whichID specifies the resource ID to search for.

'hrct'. If the specified resource is found, the Help Manager applies

the help information specified in the resource to the frontmost

window.
