Hi,

I just recently discovered a freeware help authoring tool, havent had a chance to have a good play with it, and it doesnt support html help, but it seems to be fairly easy to use and may be worth a look. The program also has a "What's This?" section. Wesbite is http://www.greeneclipsesoftware.com/eh.html
