FWIW, the absolute best winhelp development software I have *ever* seen is
called HWA (Help Writer's Assistant) from a small outfit in New Zealand.  I
tried their shareware version and quickly ordered the pro version.  It is
unbelievable (even can decompile an .hlp to usable source!) and very
reasonably priced.  I have no connection to them at all (amazon
disclaimer<g>).  I used it when I wrote the teaching software for the Delphi
2 Tutor CD for Que.  Got very good reviews.

And, they never spammed me. <g>
