I guess you mean that the high characters are shown incorrectly. This is most likely because the MS 
help compiler expects to get a specific encoding, e.g. ansi-1250 or ansi-1252. HtmlHelp content 
should allow entities, but I believe we are talking about the hht file, the html help TOC file. It 
is textual.

I'm afraid you will have to downcase characters to the encoding it is expecting. And as it is MS, I 
guess you will have to downcase to ansi. But only for the hht file...
