>Help writing is a separate story, having nothing common with VFP stuff. You could check first MS VFP 'Professional Features Guide' which gives you basics how to create MS HLP files. It's usually supposed to be a job for professional tech writer, not for Fox developer.

Essentially true, though if one wishes to link Help to specific objects, some cooperation is needed (keeping HelpContextID straight, basically)

It also helps if the Help writer knows the product, which is not always the case. I've seen a Dilbert comic along those lines... :)
