About your Windows front-end to existing DOS application:  I'm curious why
you don't want to port the entire program (that might be easier than a
hybrid approach).

About your problem with the help file - why not convert the file to Windows
help format, compile it (with "hc") and not worry about scrolling pages, etc?
Once you get the hang of the help stuff it's relatively easy to work with...

The Whitewater Resource Toolkit may (I don't know) be able to convert
BMP files to .ICO (maybe someone who's tried cares to comment).

If you can get the help file in ASCII I'd strongly recommend making it a
Windows help file and let WinHelp() do the work.
