Instead of trying to hack the current help system, just create a new form.
Then you can do whatever you want with it. To activate it, just use a
button with an image of the (i) on top of it. Now you can do whatever you
want with the form.
Much easier than trying to trap events, patch the help system, etc..
KISS.
