Certainly not in WinHelp (*.hlp). There might be a way to do it in 
HTML pages, if you can access systems settings and then store the 
result as a readable cookie, but I suspect retrieving the settings 
would take some amount of programming skills.

David Gash did a presentation at the WritersUA conference last 
year about storing cookies in an HTML page, and then using the 
cookie to affect what information the user sees. You might want to 
see if there are notes running around on his web site --
