I can't say for sure about 5.6 for Win since it seems my license admin has
gone on vacation / fell off the face of the earth but the beta shipped with
a great "Windows Help" styled help system.

I can imagine your pain. I can also understand RSI's need to standardize
the help system (although HTML might have been a better choice). Pavel is
onto something. A search for pdf2html yields a number of hits. I don't
know how feasible it is but you could convert your help files into HTML and
serve them up to your users.

You could also submit a feature request for HTML help pages.
