HTML help files use standard HTML just like web pages. The two frames you
mentioned are displayed by using a frameset page -- an HTML page that
specifies the frames and their dimensions. The pages inside the frames are
standard HTML pages that display images via standard image tags, such as
<IMG SRC="myimage.jpg" WIDTH="100" HEIGHT="50" BORDER="0">.
If you want your application's help pages to display a table of contents in
one frame and the actual help pages in the other frame, but you don't know
how to create an HTML frameset, you should check out my UniHelp module -- it
includes a table of contents, search engine, navigational bar, etc. just
like you mentioned.
