How to connect a CHM file to the Editor?

The topic says it all.

I want to release a library to the public and made a chm file from my html help files.
Now if my CHM file is moved to PureBasic\Help\ it's recognized from the editor ( it will show up in the help menu under external help ) but if the cursor is on a command from my library and the F1 button is pressed the editor will search in the PureBasic.chm file for this command.

In the DESC file there is a possibility to write the help directory in, but I can write whatever I want, nothing helps...

It seems that nobody knows how to do it...

In the early days of Version 2.9 PureBasic used to have a HTML help file system in subdirectories named as the library.
Now when a user library brings a help file it should be possible to add a subdirectory name like:
PureBasic\\Help\FSW_EventConnection
and then copy all html help files into it.
The editor should be able to bring it up when pressing F1.

But now with CHM files and a different approach to get the needed help page it's all different and not really user frendly (I mean the user of a user lib).

Well... who cares :?
