Telsa is correct.

gnome-help-browser is being replaced, under the current plan, with Nautilus.

Whether it is GHB or Nautilus, using it in GNOME 1.x is straightforward. 

http://developer.gnome.org/doc/GGAD/sec-help.html explains the code
needed to create a help menu entry.

If you need to call help directly, such as from a button you create
yourself, use gnome_help_display:
