There is the chmhelp package.  I also already translated the Windows CHM
api, so an attempt at native CHM support might be doable also.

However I mostly focussed my efforts on the textmode IDE, not Lazarus.

There is still a problem there, showing the index of the LCL chm
systematically crashes the textmode IDE on all platforms and architectures
and I don't know why.

I do not know how contextsensitive help works in Lazarus, and I don't have
Kylix. I haven't delved into the code yet, and couldn't find any docs about
it.

I know tcomponent in newer delphi's have textual fields for help purposes
(contrary to the older "integer" based Delphi .hlp and TP support)
