Confused about configuring help system

[Brian]

Hi,

I just installed the Visual Studio Pro .net trial and have been trying to
tailor the context sensitive help to how it behaves in VC6. I've set the
help system to external, but when I press F1 on say "CloseHandle," I no
longer am presented with a dialog that contains the various CloseHandle
functions like I get using VC6. Instead, I get CBlobCache::CloseHandle.
I then have to manually type in CloseHandle in the "Look for:" text to do
a search. Is there any way to bypass this step?

Incidentally, I *do* know what CloseHandle does; I just used it as an
example.

Thanks,
Brian

I discovered that this functionality is being worked on, and there is a
fix scheduled for the next release of Visual Studio.
