How do you make a link to help file so that when you click help menu it shows the file.
 
if your application has a declared help file then you can make a call to Application->HelpCommand (int Command, int Data);

else
you can call a file with ShellExecute ();
(I recommend this way, because u can make flash animations to teach the user how to use your product)

This example uses a bitmap button on a form. When the user clicks the button, the Help screen describing the HelpJump property in the Help file appears, because the HelpJump property screen has the a JumpID string of ‘
TApplication_HelpJump'. (Note: In the following example, replace "VCL.HLP" with the full name of the VCL Help file that accompanies this product.)

void __fastcall TForm1::BitBtn1Click(TObject *Sender)

{
Application->HelpFile = "VCL.HLP";
Application->HelpJump("TApplication_HelpJump");
}

copied from the help files.
