I mean that Microsoft Windows has been shipping with an API for Windows application to provide help to their users. See for example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WinHelp As a result, applications were able to use such systems instead of needing to provide their own custom and inconsistent help systems. I don't know which help system like that is recommended for use by Perl/Tk, but maybe other people here can enlighten us.
