Calling CGHP$CALL_MS_HELP with no context id

Hello, I need som help about HELP:

Is there anyway to call the procedure CGHP$CALL_MS_HELP (included in the library OFG4HPL.PLL that comes with Designer/2000) WITHOUT specifing a context id ?

The procedure's declaration is:

PROCEDURE CGHP$CALL_MS_HELP (
  h_data IN PLS_INTEGER,
  h_path IN VARCHAR2
)

If I make the call with h_data (context id) set to NULL or a context that does not exist in the MS help file, then I get a MS Windows error saying "This help topic does not exist...Contact your local supplier.".

I would like to make the call to CGHP$CALL_MS_HELP without jumping to a topic immediately. I just want to open the MS help file with the "Context"-page open.

Is there anyway to do this without rewriting the actual MS Windows DLL ? Maybe I should make a change in the package WINHELPAPI (called from CGHP$CALL_MS_HELP) so that some ORA_FFI-parameter (context id) is not registred ?

I would appreciate any advice on this.
