Delphi 3 can't find its Help Files

I have recently installed Delphi 3 (on NT), and everything works OK
except that Delphi can't find its own Help files.  They are in:

C:\Program Files\Borland\Delphi 3\HELP

but I have to navigate to them myself every time I want to use help.
How do I get Delphi to find them on its own?

Thanks in advance,

Peter Wilson

Peter,

Check your registry at HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Help and make sure the
keys that point to the Delphi help topics are correct.

Richard,

Many thanks.  For information, the solution turned out to be perhaps even
simpler.  When my sys administrator logged in, the problem only occurred once,
and then was fixed "as if by magic".  As a mere mortal user, I did not have
privileges to write to the registry, but as soon as the sys admin found the help
file once, Delphi evidently wrote the info to registry, where it remains to this
day.

Thanks again,
Peter
