First point is that it's not really "my" file. I translated it from
George Greenwade's VMS file. I hope others might look at my effort
(including some simple C code) and do the same thing for other popular
systems (X-windows anyone?) that they know about.  

Sorry if it's confusing. I usually access the help file from the
microEMACS for Windows (mewin) shell that I also posted. From that
shell there is a HELP menu item...

However, if you are not interesed in using mewin, you can view the
file using the winhelp.exe program that comes with windows and is
located in your windows directory. I've put together a short
description below. [This description doesnt really belong on this
group, since it is about Windows, not TeX! Sorry!]

You can either:
1. Create a program-manager "entry" for winhelp by the usual methods
(use the File/New... menu item in program manager). The you can run
winhelp and open the latex.hlp file. Of course this is tedious.
2. Use the File/Properties dialog to add the path-name of latex.hlp to
the "Command Line" entry. i.e. 
Command Line: winhelp c:\mydir\latex.hlp
3. Associate .hlp files with winhelp, using File Manager, then you can
run a help file by clicking on it. 

If you *still* can't figure it out, pls. email me!
