(for Delphi4(Delphi2, Delphi 5), just change 3 to 4(2, 5) in these instructions)
1. Make sure Delphi is not running now.
2. Copy DbPro.hlp and DbPro.cnt from the Database Pro directory to Delphi 
3 help subdirectory.
3. Edit the Delphi3.cnt file (for Delphi 2 edit the Delphi.cnt) in the Delphi 
Help directory and add the following line to the "index" section:

Index DBPro Help =DBPro.hlp. Add the following line to the "include" 
section:

include DBPro.cnt

4 In the Help subdirectory of Delphi 3 delete the old DELPHI3.GID and 
DELPHI3.FTS files. This can be done easily from Explorer. 
5. The next time you use the Delphi's Help feature it'll say "preparing file 
help for the first use". It occurs when Delphi is rebuilding the .GID file to 
include the new Help topics. The next time you make a fall text search in 
Help it'll rebuild DELPHI3.FTS.
