sorry to correct you, Tony, but I think you missed the "vimfiles" part of
those paths. C:\Program Files\Vim\vimfiles is used for system-wide
configuration files, not for files bundled with Vim.

Those directories are swapped -- it should have read $VIM/vimfiles/doc.

An easier way to update the tags file is to just start Vim and enter
:helptags $HOME/.vim/doc
:helptags $HOME/vimfiles/doc
or
:helptags $VIM/vimfiles/doc
In you case -- because C:\Program Files\Vim corresponds to $VIM -- the
third one is the correct one. After that, :help workspace should work.
