Okay folks!  I have created my first full-blown HTML Help file from a 230 page software reference manual.  It took me a total of 6 hours, but I am sure that will be reduced now that I know what I am doing. 

I first had to run the handy little plug-in you guys referenced (could someone please provide that link again so I can send the author his 20 bucks?) because the graphics were scattered all over the server.  It picked up all but two graphics, so I located and moved them manually, then saved as a MIF. 

I opened RoboHTML Help, identified my paragraph headings, selected File>Import, and pointed it at the MIF and, BANG! there sat my help file. 

Then I went through and created my TOC and index, and ALL DONE!  I can now simply save as a chm file and turn it over to the software weenies, but, as an experienced RoboHelp user, I am trying to talk the bossman into letting me make the gtraphics hyperlinks into pop-up pictures instead, and a few other ehancements that you can't even do with WebWorks.   

Next I am going to create the WTF IS This? Help, but Monday is a holiday and I leave for Than Franthisco Wednesday for the Apple/Adobe seminar on OS X (just in case anyone is in the area and wants to meet me to shake my hand, get my autograph, or try to kick my ass!) so I won't be starting that until the first week of June.  I will keep you informed.
