I see two ways to do it, if you want to limit it to one file....

1. Put all the help in one file, and set up anchors for each 
keyword corresponding to a particular context:

<a name="OptionsDialog"></a>

And then when you bring up your help browser, specify 
#OptionsDialog at the end of the URL you use to display the help 
file.  The other way is....

2. Put all the help in one file, and insert comments indicating 
the start and end of each context.

<!-- BEGIN OptionsDialog -->
<h2>Options Dialog</h2>
This is the dialog where you set the options.
<!-- END OptionsDialog -->

And then, in the help browser you write, you can iterate through 
the HTML file a line at a time, and display only those lines 
between the BEGIN and END comments for your desired context.
