It might all depend on how your applications are implemented. JavaHelp
does indeed work with applets. We launch our client applets from HTML
pages that run on a server. Works just fine and we run the JavaHelp in
the JavaHelp browser. The client user *does* have to install a Java
Plug-in, but they have to do that to run the applet, not just the help
system.
