That's a whole different critter from HTML help altogether.
You can develope agents using stock characters provided by Microsoft or you can create your own custome character.
I took a look at integrating a custom Agent with an Authorware piece I did a while back, but creating the character was more work than I had time for.
Thanks to all who responded.... I have Robohelp-- But what the devil do
they use for that Paperclip character who pops up and asks you if you need
help with the feature you are using and allows you to search for it?
