Have you tried Infoconvert PM (infxdl86.zip on Hobbes CDROM)?  This lets you
convert the .INF and .HLP to text, with several options for leaving, or
removing, spaces between lines, etc.  This means you can take code fragments
from the .INF files with Watcom or Borland or IBM and get them into your source. 
The utility also makes a nice alternative browser for .INF files, especially if
you might want to lift some samples.  Unfortunately, you do lose all the font
information in the conversion.  But it beats print screen or print all, a screen
per page!
