I usually build WinHelp files fro this sort of thing.  I can embed screen shots, 
drawings in etc 
them easily and users get the whole Help experiece.  

It's very easy to build professional looking WinHelp files with the freeware 
Shalom Help 
Maker. http://www.danish-shareware.dk/soft/shelpm/index.html
