The "keywords" and "hdindex" files map from search terms to locations
in the html files. Their formats are documented. Search for "keywords"
or "hdindex" in Help Desk. Using that plus w3 probably can get you
pretty far pretty quickly. You probably also want to search for
"doc.txt", as that is another format the docs take.

Of course, just using Help Desk directly will save lots of time ;)

Hope that helps.
