Help files are written using a word processor, then compiled using a 
program called the "Help Compiler".  You need a word processor capable of
producing "RTF" files, of which the best is probably Word for Windows.

The easiest way to write help files is using Microsoft's (unsupported)
"Windows Help Project Editor", WHPE, available from CompuServe and
(presumably) ftp.uu.net too.  This consists of the help compiler itself,
a program to maintain the help project file, and a very complete set of
Word for Windows macros which make it easy to write the help topics.
