CHM is pretty great. Quick loading when compared to PHP. Can search all 
help files or just within one page. Nested, alphabetical index with more 
stuff than just key terms. A TOC that is always visible and within easy 
reach, and automatically shows/highlights the page you are on. 
Context-sensitive help, as clipka mentioned.

I don't think anyone here is going to roll an alternative that is just 
as good. Just because an OSS alternative is /possible/ doesn't mean 
anyone will get around to actually making it.
