Since your switch functions as a web server, you should be able to use HTML
Help. You can link to pages stored off the switch if you don't have the
room.
FWIW, I'd recommend downloading the latest HTML Help Workshop from
Microsoft -- they updated this mid-December and it now includes both ActiveX
and Java contents and index interfaces. URL used to be http://www.microsoft.com/workshop/author but they reorganised everything
recently.
HTH,
