I've been using Lynx-Win32 quite a bit and can see the need for Windows
help screens for new users.  

I downloaded the help compiler and played with a bit.  So far, I haven't
come up with a rational scheme of going from some raw text format such as
HTML or nroff and feeding it through filters to get .HLP files. 

I'm willing to help create and test such help files...
