how does one get lhelp to load all or a certain set of chm files from the command line?

lhelp ${path}/*.chm

and/or

lhelp ${path}/foo.chm;${foo}/bar.chm

neither currently work to load multiple chm (and i suspect other supported formats) files...

additionally, from within lhelp, File->Open only allows one file at a time to be specified... you can't CTRL-Click on multiple or SHIFT-Click to grab a bunch in a row...

If it doesn't work, it probably isn't implemented in lhelp command line handling.
The lazarus chmhelp package that is used to control lhelp currently does load all chms in your chm directory/directories, so you could submit a patch based on the code there.

Let me know if you want me to dig up the exact location of that code.

Probably needs some property for the file picker set to enable multi file selection (sorry, not much of a GUI guy myself) and the rest of the code in lhelp adjusted?
