	If you have a Windows progam that you want to look professional, a 
help file is a must!  But to make them from scratch requires you to to 
master complex RTF code sequences, help .PRJ file format, and the 
microsoft help compiler...and even after all that it's often a matter 
of trial and error just to get one to look half decent!
	
	But not any more!  Anyone who can use Microsoft Word can now make 
their own Help files with Help Maker Plus (tm)!  In seconds you'll be 
creating topics, pop-ups, jump destinations, fixed regions,
