Hi!  I'm currently looking for a solution to finding
a hypertext help system that may be used on different 
platforms (Mac, MS-Windows, and Motif).  What we're
looking for is a help system which not only has a similar
user interface on all platforms, but, more importantly,
the same help file format.  We really don't want to re-enter
help text using a different word processor/desktop publishing
system for each platform.

I am aware that the MS-Windows world does come with the tools
necessary to build a hypertext help system (using MS-Word).
Can this be ported to the Unix/Motif world at all?

Any guidance or other ideas would be appreciated.  Please
respond directly to me.  

Thanks, Anne
