Help, no really 'Help'

Agggghhhhhhhh  - does anyone have a template for constructing Help files?

I am trying to use the MS Help Workshop (distributed with Delphi5) and at my
wits end with it.  I have spent most of the day just trying to work out
whats required and how to format the contents, topics, xxx, files etc -
there has to be an easier way!

Any suggestions and help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Try this:

A freeware version (OasisSE) that might be all you need, and a shareware
version if you require more (OasisPro).
