FWIW, it's probably meant to be D7.hlp instead of DD7.hlp. not sure if that's just a typo like "Delhi" is

I get an err when I tried: "Select Help-Customize"
"OpenHelp not found" ... "oh.exe" file missing from bin dir
I was able to fix my d7.hlp file.. it will run now... except for one thing. If I select a component like TEdit in the editor and press F1 it just loads the help to the main index page and not to the specific object. Minor...
btw...here is the link I found to fix my help problem:

Registering the help file with Windows
The first thing we need to do is register the help file and any contents files with Windows. To do this:
1. Copy the .hlp file (and any .cnt or .toc files) to a suitable folder on your computer and note the folder's path.
2. Now open the Windows RegEdit utility and navigate to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Softwar
3. Create a new string (REG_SZ) value at give the value the same name as your help file (just the file name without the path). Set the value to the path to your help file. The following figure provides an example.
4. Repeat the process for any .cnt or .toc files in your help project.

yep, that was just a typo
once you have the help up, just go file open, and select the right help file (d7.hlp i think) and you should be able to F1 again.
