This is a quote from the project page:

"The module is also "Context Sensitive" so if you pass helpmodule=Announcements in the query string the Chapter on the Announcements module will be open for you."

I can't get this to work.  Could you explain in more detail?  I would very, very much like to access the pre-defined help on DNN in this manner.  More accurately, I want to access it by typing that into the settings in some manner.

The Online Help does this automatically.  If you select the Online Help option on a module it opens a new window and has a URL like http://www.dotnetnuke.com/default.aspx?tabid=787&helpculture=en-us&helpmodule=Text%2fHTML.

The helpmodule=Text%2fHTML part is used to open the Help Module at the appropriate Chapter.

You can use these URL's anywhere and as long as the Folder name is unique it will open.  You can use any Chapter name and you can also use "cid" for chapter ID in the querystring as well.

I want to write my own module, and have module help for it.

I don't have to have it point to DNN's site, do I?   How would it know one way or the other?
