What I'd like to see though is something wiki like embedded in the IDE.
Also we must all remember that the windows help system has always been
abominable on OO systems, you almost always need a dual keyed looked (a
in context of b)

Well actually I think that you both have a point.
Oh and remember that there already is a Delphi Wiki out there in
internet land (http://delphi.wikia.com/)
JED is quite right, you pay premium dollars for a product like Delphi,
it should indeed have a complete and functional help system, its to our
shame and embarrassment that our help is currently in the state it is,
it's a high priority for us that it's fixed and it will be.
It is however only to be noted that a Wiki has the potential to be an
incredible resource, Wikipedia apparently is now regarded as a better
resource than Britannica or World Book, so I reckon a Delphi Wiki has
the potential to be better than anything we could do...so it makes sense
for us to be major contributors to a Delphi Wiki, and we will turn our
attention to that no doubt, but first things first, we have a product to
get out the door and a help system to fix.
Cheers Tim.

When you buy a product from a company do you expect to have to write
the help files for said product as well?
The argument is that people pay serious $$$ for these products. Why
should they also have to write the help files for them. The "loyal"
users tag eventually wears thin.
