I have a similar arrangement in my text editor, Uedit. Currently only
parts of the 1.3 AutoDocs, though - waiting for 2.0 final to start banging
on this again. It works really great, fast reference for all calls and many
struct's, and you can quote into your program.

Ditto. It'd be real nice if some freely distributable HyperText AutoDocs
reader could be made available. I would happily distribute my AutoDoc
HyperText file for Uedit users.
