To give just a bit more information, most help tools include .hlp file
decompilers. RoboHelp's is a fine one. If you are using RoboHelp 9.x,
find the decompiler under RoboHelp Office Tools > Help-to-Source.
If you don't own RoboHelp, or some other decent help authoring tool,
I am told you can find freeware help decompilers on the Internet.
Search for the terms "Help Decompiler."
