Newbie needs some winhelp help

I am making my first venture into creating a winhelp document. I am using Shalom Help Maker and compiling with the one included with Visual Studio 6.

I have created a help document on XP and compiled it. Everything looks fine and no hitches encountered. "This is cake," I'm thinking. WRONG!

When I copy the help file to an ME machine the contents page will not display. If I start winhlp32 with no parameters on that help file it goes to the first page (should go to contents according to the docs). If I click on 'contents' it still goes to the first page.

Can someone help me out with this? Shouldn't these help files be OS independent? Do I need to find a compiler for ME and one for 9x, ad nausium? TIA.
