Learn *about* Help authoring, the various Help formats out there, how
they're made, what makes them tick, etc. Investing in a tool itself
will not get you terribly far. And yes, RoboHelp has ben unofficially
sunset by Macromedia/Adobe. Check out www.helpstuff.com and
www.helpware.net for starting points. They have some good articles and
other resources to acclimate you to several Help formats.
