Everyone must be really busy because most queries seem to be going
unanswered (either that your I'm not getting most of the DUG emails).
Anyway there is a Customise menu item under the Help menu. This brings up
the OpenHelp program which you can use to specify which source help files
should be included in the Contents, the Index and the Search (I'm guessing
here) tabs of the main Delphi help file.
I would try to use this to rebuild your Delphi help file (make a change -
perhaps by removing and then adding back a help file - then select Save
Project). If this doesn't work then have a closer look at list of help files
in the Index tab of OpenHelp. It should be quite long and include things
like the Visual Component Library help (del5vcl.hlp). If it doesn't or if
the paths are wrong then add to/fix the list.
You should also be aware that Windows 95, 98 (and possibly Windows Me) can't
handle a large number of items in the index. So if you add too many things
to the Index you will probably find that you can't see anything when you try
to view it.
