chivalc,
Post by chivalchow do i create a compiled html file.
For some information on how to start building HTML Help (.chm) files, see:
http://helpware.net/htmlhelp/basics.htm
As a minimum, you'll need Microsoft's free HTML Help Workshop, which is
available from the URL I mention in the page above. I'd particularly
recommend that you get Char James-Tanny's tutorial on HTML Help Workshop,
which should make using the program a little easier.
HTML Help Workshop provides fairly basic authoring facilities, which is why
most people go for tools like RoboHelp, Doc-To-Help, or Help & Manual. For
information on these tools and many others, see:

The following page provides links to online resources on how to connect a
help file to an application, if that's your ultimate goal.
