None at all - providing the result gets downloaded to my PC for local lookup
during subsequent help updates.  I dont want to be forced to do a web lookup
whenever I hit F1 - its too slow.   I just felt that the emphasis on the web
base was not what I wanted when the basics dont work.

My specific concerns are about migrating component suites from ealier
versions of Delphi which have .hlp based files.   If the component suits
isnt current then there isnt going to be a .Hxs or .chm set of help files
coming along.  That's why I'm so grumpy ;-)
