Hi proton,

Welcome on board. To split the old help format you need a utility that came with old versions of masm called HELPMAKE. That will give it to you in plain text format and you then write your own Winhelp file in RTF in something like WORD. I have attached the version from the 1993 MASM for you. Run it to get the command line data you need.
