If your help system will be used on Vista operating systems, I would 
stick with the standard WinHelp. 

As Sean mentioned, WinHelp requires the use of a DLL for its 
enhanced functionality. By default, registered routines are not 
supported by the Winhlp32.exe download provided by Microsoft. 
Your users would need to edit their registry for the help system to 
use the DLL.

You can find more information on the Winhlp32.exe download 
(including the registry edits) for Vista at:
