I have hyperlinks in the .htm files that have nice relative paths. When I
compile the help I find (if I view the source) that my relative paths have
been converted into absolute paths (including drive name). If those
hyperlink files don't actually exist on the drive at runtime the help
doesn't show the page. The hyperlink file is included in the [FILES]
section. Can you please help.

HTML Help wont change your hyperlinks in your html.
Its probably your HTML editor or authoring tool.

EG. If you move a file or web sometimes editors like
FrontPage gets confused and convert your links to absolute paths.

Does that help?
What authoring tools are you using?
