The standard model with one extra Higgs doublet may give rise to an en
hanced tree-level flavor-changing-scalar coupling of a neutral Higgs b
oson to a pair of top-charm quarks. This coupling map drive a large tr
ee-level effective W+W-(ZZ)-Higgs boson-t (c) over bar interaction. As
a result we find that the reactions e(+)e(-) --><t(c)over bar>v(e) (v
) over bar(e), t(c) over barZ$ and the two rare top decays t-->cW(+)W(
-), t-->cZZ become very sensitive probes of such an effective interact
ion. The most promising ones, e(+)e(-) --><t(c)over bar> v(e) (v) over
bar(e), <t(c)over bar> e(+)e(-), may yield several hundreds and up to
thousands of such events at the Next Linear Collider with a center of
mass energy of root s= 0.5-2 TeV if the mass of the lightest neutral
Higgs boson is a few hundred GeV. The rare decays t-->cW(+)W(-) and t-
->cZZ may be accessible at the CERN LHC if the mass of the lightest ne
utral Higgs boson lies in the narrow window 150 GeV less than or simil
ar to m(h) less than or similar to 200 GeV.
