I'm afraid in help systems you are outmaneuvered. Ask yourself; what is Help's primary function? It is to help the user of course. Winhelp is specifically designed for help systems, and its facilities are better suited for them than HTML's. How Winhelp looks is completely irrelevant; it does what it's supposed to do more effectively than anything else out there. Plus, it's standardized, which makes it more accessible to users who may not be familiar with XaraX's help system. These are often the people who need the most help. System resources, while not a concern for powerful workstations, are often a concern for those using borderline systems, often because they're only casual users; again, the people who need help most. I have yet to find an HTML help system that is both comprehensive and comprehensible.
