Html Help files are merely a collection of HTML files with relative images. Anything that's relative gets pulled into the project when it is compiled.

While Help Workshop works, I really wouldn't recommend to use it for building anything but the simplest help file. That environment is just horribly user unfriendly.

Unfortunately one must install it to get the HTML Help Compiler...

If you are building sophisticated help files with even a moderate number of topics there are many tools available including some free ones that do much more than Help Workshop. For FoxPro specific help you might also check out Html Help Builder (www.west-wind.com/wwhelp) which my company sells (but isn't free)...

I write a lot of documentation for the tools I build and I couldn't imagine putting up with Html Help Workshop. If you value your time at all, look at any of the third party tools...
