Yes, the way you tried only adds a shortcut (an extra gray help button
on 
the Palette's toolbar) to already defined help files.

Because the Help uses wxHtmlHelpController, there must be hhp, hhc and 
hhk file for your help.

I've now defined these files. Unzip the attached zip file in the Docs
directory.

Also edit the 'books' entry in the [help] section of Explorer.*.cfg
and add 'custom/custom.hhp' to the list.

Now run the Help system and follow the instructions you get when 
you select 'Custom help files' in the Contents.

Note that the Help system can be run stand alone by just running
Help.py.
