Well, for the fun i will have doing it, i just want to try making my own 
help system ;-)

And i don't like very much the html format, in my opinion it is too 
complicated for the very basic fonction we need : display help files. 

In my opinion, online help just must :
- show text and images (perhaps tables too, i'm not sure)
- accept hypertext links
- that's all.
