Look at WSHELP (A public domain .PAS -> .RTF converter) from Turbo Power.
If it's not on ftp.cica.indiana.edu, just mail me and I'll upload it.

WSHELP contains a fairly well description of RTF and a method of embedding
RTF commands in .PAS source files (actually it gives the possibility
of writing documentation and code at once).
