Question

Can I have different start topics for a single chm?

I write help for a software suite with about 11 different modules. I have all the help in one chm file which opens at a general welcome topic. Ideally, I would like it to open at the topic most relevant to the module from which it is accessed.
We don't use context-sensitive help at present but I'm thinking I could probably use this to get what I want.
Or I could use a different SSL for each module and so end up with 11 different chms, each identical but for a different start topic.
Any advice?

Context-sensitive help is your best option. You'll need to generate map IDs for each topic and provide the map file to your developers, who will ensure that the F1 key opens the help to the relevant topic. For more information, check the RH Help files; they do a good job explaining the task on the author's end.
