Converting WinHelp "What's This" to HTML Help "What's This"

Using an old WinHelp project, I compiled the project into an HTML output (.chm file). The main help system converted just fine but I am trying to figure out a way to convert my existing "What's This" topics* from my WinHelp project to my HTML Help project, without redoing each individual "What's This" topic. Anyone have any ideas please??? Thank you.

*The odd thing is, the "What's This" help composer was never used for the WinHelp project. Each "What's This" (yellow popup box) was created by creating a new topic and the developers mapping the topic's map id to a specified field within our application. Does that help or complicate things anymore? Any ideas are much appreciated. Thanks.

Hi b-ster

For starters, I think Microsoft has all but abandoned using What's this help these days. However, when they provide .CHM help for the apps they do, I believe that even Microsoft uses the older WinHelp format for topics used with What's this help.

Cheers... Rick
