That sort of works, that is I get a spurious IE window open with "Action
cancelled" and a warning dialog from SP2 about am I sure I want to run this
file every time, then it does open......is there no more direct way to open
a help file???

Try something along the lines of

C:\Windows\hh.exe as the exe to run
C:\Program Files\borland\Delphi5\Help\delphi5.hlp as the parameter to it.

Accessing older help for D2006

I have a cunning plan....I tried adding to the Tools menu a tool saying

 "c:\Program Files\borland\Delphi5\Help\delphi5.hlp"

But this does not work.....it complains of cannot execute this (error 2) I
tried a few variations as well (setting working dir etc but it also does not
like this)... any suggestions?  I think the problem is that the tool has to
be an .exe file, and any of the usual tricks such as start Delphi5.hlp or
cmd /c delphi.hlp don't work either...
