Dipu,

As a minimum, you'll need to get Microsoft Help Workshop, which is
available from here:

http://www.helpmaster.com/hlp-developmentaids-hcw403.htm

This comes with a Help Author's Guide that provides extensive
information on how to build WinHelp files. You may also find these
sites useful:

It's also quite a good idea to get the WinHelp decompiler from:

http://www.helpmaster.com/help-developmentaids-helpdeco.htm

You can point this at any .hlp file on your system and extract the
source files -- and then see how the author put the file together.
