What is the help file format? (HLP or CHM) 

You should be able to import or otherwise use the existing source 
files in another tool. Some tools will even let you import the file itself 
(for instance, Doc-to-Help will import an HLP file, or it will import the 
source files used to create the HLP).

A different tool might be your best option. I know Doc-to-Help offers 
competitive upgrades from any product (which I assume includes 
Forehelp, but I don't know that specifically).
