TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.

You can use the MicroSoft Help Workshop, which is available free
from the internet. It is what I have used for a few years to develop
WinHelp. I downloaded a Word template that makes it easy to
format the topics and links. This requires that you learn the "under
the hood" workings of a help file, but you also don't run into issues
with buggy tools.
You can find various tools -- free, shareware, demo versions, etc.
(including the MS Help Workshop) -- at Josef Becker's web site
