Context-sensistive Help Test Tool

Question

I have upgraded a help file from RoboHelp 5 Word to RoboHelp 10 HTML. I wanted to test the context-sensistive map numbers so I am using "CSH Test" in the Toolbox. When I assign the *.chm file to the "offline" box and then select the MAP Number from the drop down menu under Options, nothing happens. The help file says if everything works the topic should be displayed. I am confident my MAP IDs and topics have been set properly, but I get nothing to show in the test tool. I wanted to test various context-sensitive IDs before moving on to actual testing with the application software. I assumed this would be a straight forward testing of the MAP ids without use of the application (*.exe).

Any help on what I could be missing on the context-sensistive help testing with CSH Test?

Welcome to the club

What I have found so far is that RH9 (and obviously RH10 also) doesn't create the #IVB section correctly (if at all) in the .chm

(Use HTML Help Studio from the Tools and open "Oberste Ebene" - "Top level").

You ought to see a #IVB section containing all the MAP IDs and the corresponding mapping.

Chinese characters may appear since the tool doesn't respect wide char or UTF-8 or whatever.

Under RH5 this is working correctly.
