Hi Doug,
(It appears that my original response was somehow deleted so I'm reposting
it just in case)
Although it's incomplete, Microsoft's HTML Help Workshop can help you to
create some documentation and it's free:
HTML Help 1.4 SDK
Microsoft HTML Help Downloads
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-US/library/ms669985.aspx
You should edit the contents and index files without the workshop's help.
They're just html files (where xml should have been used), although you'll
have to try to preserve their incorrect markup otherwise you'll get
workshop-compiler errors :|
Including context-sensitive help or a TOC link from a menu item, for
example, is easy in a WinForms app using the HelpProvider component:
Windows Forms Programming
HelpProvider Component Overview (Windows Forms)
