Well, I managed to make it work.

Using Professional Edition:

[1] Use Options|Preferences, Helper Applications, and specify hhc.exe 
for file having a .hhp extension. This is done once for all.

See HelperApp.png attached screenshot.

More info. in 
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/help/com.xmlmind.xmleditapp.dialog.PreferencesEditorDialog.html#helperApplicationsOptions

[2] After opening a DocBook 4 document (if you write DocBook 4 
documents), use "Options|Customize Configuration|Change Document 
Conversion Parameters" and specify the 3 parameters

chunker.output.encoding = Windows-869

htmlhelp.encoding = Windows-869

saxon.character.representation = native;decimal

as shown in attached screen shot ConversionParameters.png. This is done 
once for all.

More info. in 
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/help/com.xmlmind.xmleditapp.kit.part.ConversionParametersEditor.html

[3] Use DocBook|Convert Document|Convert to HTMLHelp. This should work.

The WindowsHelp attached screenshot shows a left pane which is grabled 
and a right pane which is OK. My guess is that the left pane will be OK 
on a Greek Windows machine.

Needless to say that I've printed this document and that I'll read it 
carefully.
