Uh, this is terrible! Why don't you open the original file in the CHM browser? Just execute C:\Windows\hh.exe with the absolute path to the manual file passed as parameter, like C:\Windows\hh.exe G:\dev\engines\A8.32.0\3dgs_manual.chm. This way you stay independent from the manual in the case the user uses an updated manual.
Yes, but this does not allow me to show context-sensitive help. The current help system is much more intelligent than e.g. the SED one, as it not only shows the help listed for the selected word (e.g. pan_create or whatever), but also shows the right help file for context sensitive attributes (e.g. flags).
you should also add an option to select more help files (anet, gstnet, lbgui, ...)
This is already possible. All help references are stored in a "complex" XML file, and can be easily enhanced. I'll take care to add the most important ones (anet, gstnet and maybe lbgui) - for others the author of the plugin has to take care of it.

Yeaaah..you're right
