The format WinHelp likes best is WMF, which can contain both vector 
and bitmap elements.  However, if you are using WinHelp in 16-bit
Windows systems (Win95, Win98, ME), there's a memory leak in the
system code that displays WMFs that results in strange display
behavior; in that case, it's better to use BMPs.  For screenshots,
use the same resolution at which they were taken, 96DPI; more or
less will result in unreadable text.

HTH!
