All, Thanks everyone for your suggestions with my Help tools question. I will definitely look into Mif2Go and I've used RoboHelp in the past, although it has been quite a few years so I'll need a trial download. I will also give WebWorks another try...maybe I can get some help from them.
Again, thanks for your input. I do appreciate it!

WebWorks is a fine company with an excellent product. They have a Yahoo group (I think it's called ePub) that you can post your question to. Or call them, they will help you. If nothing else, send an email to Ben Allums, [email protected], I think. I've had a lot of great experiences with them. Don't abandon them because of this.

It works as a Frame plugin and works with just about any version of Frame. Features and all that info on what it can convert too is available on their website. Costs less than $300, plus a yearly maintenance/upgrade fee. It will do everything that WebWorks can do, and probably more.
