Does anyone know how to configure Dreamweaver CS3 to show CF8 help when I hit F1 while I have a CF tag highlighted?

Thanks so much for any help.

CTRL+F1 provides ColdFusion help. If you specifically want F1 for ColdFusion help, then you can change the keyboard shortcut via: Edit-> Keyboard shortcuts. If you've not made any changes to your shortcuts, then you'll need to make a copy to work from. Then, you'll need to change (remove?) the F1 shortcut from the Menu commands category under Help -> Dreamweaver Help. Then change the ColdFusion help to whatever shortcut you want.

Never used CF Studio or HomeSite so I don't know how they worked. Perhaps you can explain more about what you're actually like to have happen.

There is the CF8 updater extension for Dreamweaver (for CS3 and CS4):
http://www.adobe.com/support/coldfusion/downloads.html
Which adds a new menu item on the Help menu which goes to: http://www.adobe.com/support/documentation/en/coldfusion/
Adobe is moving toward online help, but they tend to have PDFs available of their docs which the above link offers.

This extension may be of use: http://www.tom-muck.com/extensions/help/contexthelptoolbar/

I've not used it and it specifies "newly updated for ColdFusion 7" so not sure how well it will work with the CF8 tags.
