Delphi 2007 help integration

I moved to Delphi 2007 in early 2008. It took a long time to migrate all my tools and components, and I'm not in a hurry to do that again. I moved from Delphi 6. (Bought D2006, but didn't use it much, due to the migration headaches).

The MSDN / F1 help "integration" though, continues to drive me nuts pretty regularly. I access the D6 help files, and individual vendor help files as needed, but it sure isn't nearly as useful as the old put-your-cursor-on-a-method, click F1 -> You get something useful of the older help approach, especially with all vendor files integrated in.

It appears I may be very late to the party, but apparently I wasn't alone in this opinion: http://blogs.embarcadero.com/deeelling/2007/08/21/38290

I see now that Embarcadero lets you download CHM files for Delphi 2007. Is their any way to fully integrate them, and get rid of that useless MSDN monstrosity entirely?

This does not answer your question (I'm eagerly waiting for a good answer, myself), but this tool does make the default help a little faster. So you can get useless results in a reasonable time :)
