If you are doing professional work you should consider buying Help &
Manual:

www.helpandmanual.com

It was created on Delphi and is one of the best help editors out
there.

I don't know any freeware or free software chm editors.

If you are writting free software I advise looking into other formats.
I think there is a partial help framework on Lazarus Component
Library. Vincent was working on it, but I don't know how far it is.

I was not working on a help system. Maybe Mattias was. There is a help
example in SVN.

A free CHM Help editor?

What about Microsofts HTML Help Workshop? Just search for HTML Help
Workshop on the Microsoft page.

Needs some HTML knowledge for the pages, but the GUI helps with all
the other stuff (Overview, Index, ...).

I know a very good free software,Help
Maker(http://www.vizacc.com/).you can select
English,Cyrillic,French,Chinese,Italian,Spanish or German in the
languge menu,if none of them is your language,you can download the
translation string file from the website and do the translation,then
return it to the development team(for example,I did the Chinese
transltion by this way).
