Are you asking how to create a help file?

If so, you need an RTF editor such as Microsoft Word and WordPad should work
as well. Then you need the help compiler and included documentation, which I
suspect is available on the web.

Jonathan,
Yes, I want to creat a .HLP file.
I do have MS word/WordPad. But where I can find HELP compiler and what a
DOCUMENTATION is?
Thanks,
Dajing

"DOCUMENTATION" is text that provides instructions. So the documentation for
Help Workshop is the text that provides instructions on how to create help
files.

I'm not finding much on the standard help compiler. These days, Microsoft is
pushing the HTML help workshop. You can find out about that at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/tools/htmlhelp/chm/whtshw.htm.

HTML help does not work with the common dialog though... According to
Microsoft, this is by design and they do not have any plans to change
this...
