I am not sure how you will like the results, but yes you can and the help is 
the same structure as
the FoxPro 2.6 DBF Help file:

Structure for table:             C:\PROGRAM FILES\FPD26\FOXHELP.DBF
Memo file block size:         64
Code Page:                    0       
  Field      Field Name       Type              Width       Dec   
      1      TOPIC            Character            30             
      2      DETAILS          Memo                 10             
      3      CLASS            Character            20             
** Total **                                        61


All you need to do is create the structure and add your topics. The complicated 
part is the
implementation. As you can see by the structure, there is no HelpContextId 
column in the table. You
need to SET TOPIC TO on each control GotFocus and reset it to nothing on the 
LostFocus. This is very
tedious work to implement context sensitive help in a modern application. 
Naturally you can set it
at the form level too.

My recommendation is to run to West-Wind.com and get the HTML Help Builder for 
a couple hundred
bucks. It is simple to use and creates a much more professional Help system.
