The rc.hlp file is a help file for the system that creates help files, not 
resource files.   It is in the directory "\program files\borland 
shared\mshelp".  The contents of that directory are not related to resources 
or resource file.

The resource compiler is brcc32.exe and it happily accepts the word DIALOG.
