In case anyone else runs into a problem laying out the TOC for HTML Help
project
that includes merge modules, I recommend using a tool called FAR, courtesy
of
helpware.net. It has a great editor for .hhc files, among other things. It
helped me
deal with the mysterious behavior of Microsoft HTML Help compiler/viewer.
