Martin,
Perhaps you don't offer context sensitive help with such things as compilers.
You can, however, offer a menu driven, generic help for virtually all programs.
While context sensitive help, driven by the position of the mouse is not
necessarily useful for all applications, there is nothing in what I propose to
stop anyone from writing any sort of help file they see fit.
