I read through a few posts on the asm.hlp but didn't find anything addressing my issue.
1. I don't see a help folder. The PB help files seem to be installed in C:\Program Files\PureBasic along with the exe.
2. If I unzip asmhlp.zip into this folder, none of the unzipped hlp files will launch. They want me to select a program to open them. I downloaded the win32help install from Microsoft and turns out that I had it already installed so it isn't the issue.
3. I have a win32.hlp which I regularly use along with PB. Anyway I can put it in the C:\Program Files\PureBasic and have it show up in the PB help?

Re: asm.hlp questions
Figured it out by accident. The dialog that pops up is a security warning. Has a checkbox that says, "Always ask before opening this file?". The dialog also has an open and a cancel button. Before I did not click on the checkbox, but clicked on the open button. Apparently I have to uncheck the box or the open button does not work as expected. Puzzling.

WinHlp32.exe is not shipped with Windows Vista or later:
