Oh.......that gave me a moment of pause........now I understand......... :(
But that does raise a question (at least to me), take in mind, I don't know what the C::B resources are but it would seem that you didn't address in your research another obvious option.
Now, please remember that i'm still just starting back into C++ so I'm not quite sure how to tell you this because in this area I only know VB so there will be a bit of a language gap. But if wxHTML doesn't work efficently, then why not just skip the xCHM format all together and go to an external SHELL(sorry, about the VB reference) command and taylor the address to the Keyword then have the infomation on the C::B site?
I know that a browser launch is a little slow, but it would seem efficent to me considering that there would be one main hub for information which would increase accuracy in the information....
Or is this just an undesireable option?

Because that's not "embedded help", that's external help.
And indeed it's another option, which is exactly what C::B haves currently, called "Help Plugin", and it's that what it does.
Also, the problem of having "external help" is that sometimes (most of times), there isn't any program installed on some systems to open some of the formats (usually not the case with HTML, but yes with CHM, DevHelp, HTB, PDF, Man pages, Info manuals, etc).

Well, I knew it wasn't embedded, I was just trying to find something else other then sheleping around on the internet or exclusively using MSDN….because I have already found Microsoft code that works in MSVC++ but not C::B with some of the macros and I was afraid that it was going to get even worse with MFC. Also, it seems to me that some of the more complex code is more difficult to find…
For some reason, I don’t have a help plugin installed…Could you direct me to it?

It isn't available separately.
It's included in the 1.0RC2 installer, or in the latest nightly builds here: http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php?board=20.0

Ok, I wasn't sure if was installed automatically or not, I updated from the March 02 to the March 03.....and I now even see that its even installed on the help=>Plugins=>help Plugin and is selected in the plugin manager......but I don't seem to see where the plugin is placed......
Also, I see that the wxmsw.dll wasn't updated......how often does that happen?

It's in menu Settings->Environment->Help files (it's at the end).

Most likely, every 5 months or so, which is when wxWidgets team releases a new minor revision.
