Dynamics NAV 5.0: Feature to be included

Hi everyone,
I am presently doing a research on how to get help for all created fields that are not part of the standard fields the system came with. So that if F1 key is pressed on any created field, a help window will be displayed showing what the field is and what should be entered in it. Just the way a help window will be displayed if F1 key is pressed on any standard field.
I have been able to design my help using a help tool and send the files into Navision help directory, if I press F1 key on the field I created, a help window will be displayed in WinHelp and not in HTML Help. Since Navision help is in HTML and not WinHelp, I want my help to be displayed in HTML.
If I send the HTML files alone so that it will display my help in HTML, it will show me an error asking for the WinHelp files but if I send the WinHelp files alone, it wil display my help in WinHelp. This means that Navision needs .hlp (WinHelp) for it to display any customised help. But this is wrong, since its help is in .chm (HTML Help).
Is this a limitation of NAV 4.0 SP1? if yes, then how can this feature be included in the new version NAV 5.0 and if no, can anybody tell me how to make the system NOT to ask for .hlp file but rather use my .chm file and display my designed help in HTML.
Thanks.

It seems more like a Navision-issue than a 5.0 issue (even if your title says differently), because in the text you asked if it is an 4.0SP1 issue.
No PM,please use the forum. || May the <SOLVED>-attribute be in your title!
