Whoops, nevermind guys. All my searching on google wasn't going anywhere because I was getting too many hits regarding needing help coding wx, not implementing help files 
I have it now, the wx.html.HtmlHelpController
http://www.nabble.com/wx.html.HtmlHelpController-to23005554.html
and chapter 16 source from WxIA - http://www.manning-source.com/books/rappin/rappin_src.zip
sorry for the message that I solved myself!
