I have coded myself in an online help file editor for the obuild system and I still use multiple files. It's quite easy to do. Just add a byte to the help structure for file number, and then within the editor, have it check for item type before it opens the proper help file for writing. Nice and simple :) Although I tore out the stock structure and put in my own and redid the way help files are parsed.
