Context Sensitive Help (or not much help)

Hi Guys

I've had MSP 8 for a while now but only thought of using the 'context sensitive help' for the first time today. When I dragged the help sign to the place I wanted and clicked, all it did was open the main Video Editor help file at the place I had last used it. Out of interest I tried the CSH all over and it did the same thing everytime. I even just left it to hover over selected points in case it automatically opened an info box, but that didn't work either. Don't get me wrong, this is not disasterous in the great scheme of things, but I get a bit edgy when things don't do what they ought to in case its a symptom of a bigger problem (that may need re-installation, groan).

So, has anyone any ideas why it's not working for me or is CSH just a gimmick with no real back-up? (By the way, I typed 'context sensitive help' into the Video Editor Help search facility and it came up saying there's no such help topic!!)

ummm, the CSH doesn't work

The Beta Test team asked to either make it work, or remove the CSH icon, but it wasn't addressed in SP1 (so I am assuming it is still on the "to do" list)...

Regards,
George

Aha, so it's not just me. Something for SP2 in a few years?
