Hello Michelle,

Actually, Toolbook is a fairly common package used for CBT 
(computer based training) development. I would suspect that 
knowing how to use this tool would be a plus on your resume. 
There are many people who have technical writing skills (or claim 
to have), who are proficient in the latest help authoring tools (or 
claim to be :), but there are fewer who have experience in CBT. 

I would try to look at it as a challenge and a great learning 
opportunity, and dig in.
