I had the same problem, but it was solved when I rebuilt the library:
after starting help, click the "index" button and then click the "find"
tab on the new screen that pops up. Click "rebuild" and finally click
"continue".

Hi,
I've had what I think is the same problem under OpenVMS on DEC (sorry
Compaq) Alpha.
The search using the "Index" tab works OK, but when using the "Find" tab
and selecting a subject, the help always points to the wrong topic. This
worked OK in 5.0, but not for 5.2 & 5.3 (I can't check 5.1). I have made
RSI aware of this, but when will something be done?
Regards,
Ian
