Regarding that it's me who is the said idiot (or the advocate for the 
idiotic users), I'd like to add, that the end result should be to allow 
the idiots to push F1 (or shift F1 for an external tool like DocView) in 
the IDE to get context help for the word under cursor, might same be  be 
a language keyword (e.g. "array"), an RTL generated keyword (e.g. 
TThread), or an LCL generated keyword (e.g. TForm). Of course 
additionally when not in a Source code window, help on the IDE itself 
should appear.

I understand that on top of generating the dedicated help files from the 
current sources,  for this it is necessary to generate combined CHM 
files or multiple inf-Files for DocView. This needs to be included in 
the "idiot's guide".

-Michael (provided this done I promise to improve the help sources on 
"TApplication.QueueAsyncCall", as intended since many months)
