Selecthere for all the Help files in many formats. Enjoy.
Live on the web is always the latest Help build.
We now have CHM, Web, HTML5, HTML, XML and PDF.
See here for all the different output files. The web version is online and the CHM is included in the Windows build.
So, how do you get involved? You can now create and edit the source files. If you want to edit. Simply take a copy of a source file, learn the format (see ASCIIDOC format on web), edit and post to this forum. We can pick up and merge with some ease now. You can find the source to the Help here
A huge thank you to Jacques Nilo who built the toolchain that enabled this new approach to the Help.
Thanks to the authors and editors Jacques, Marc, Bill, Mike, Hugh, Chris and me.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
This is WIKI format of the Help that is available online.
As there are many hundreds of Help pages - you will have to use the 'find a page' to locate a specific page, or, to see all the pages select 'show more pages ... '
Enjoy
Some insights. All the Help pages are maintained in GitHub and you can edit to improve. The source format of the Help pages is ASCIIDocs and using ASCIIDocs enables the production of CHM, XML, Wiki, HTML, HTML. Web (Java) and PDF.
The tools are available for your use. The toolchain is very stable and you use the toolchain to generate your own Help files for your own project. Ping me a PM if this is of interest to anyone - please do not post here.

Remember! When you download the CHM to your computer you will have to UNBLOCK the file. See http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/B59D2B24D624B823862575FC0056F3D0 for more information.
For Linux users - I have added a new Help format. https://github.com/Anobium/Great-Cow-BASIC-Help/wiki/
