Borland offers the Win32.hlp files off of the following page:
http://info.borland.com/techpubs/delphi/
The older file is found as documention for Delphi 3 and is named
D3MS.zip. Inside the Zipped file is a Win32.hlp file as listed below:
Name: Win32.hlp
Dated: Sunday, March 23, 1997, 7:00:00 PM
Size: 11,279,097 bytes
The newer file is found as documentation for Delphi 5 Pro and is
named D5MS.Zip. You'll need to click on the Delphi 5 Pro link to
get to it, then search for "D5MS.zip" without the quotes.
The newer file details...
Name: Win32.hlp
Dated: Wednesday, August 11, 1999, 5:00:00 AM
Size: 24,804,587 bytes
Also, you might want to try out the API Viewer at the following page:
http://www.activevb.de/rubriken/apiviewer/index-apiviewereng.html
It's a tool everyone should have. And to go along with it, another
useful item is the API Guide at the following page...
http://www.mentalis.org/agnet/apiguide.shtml
Even though they stopped messing with it in 2002, it's got some helpful
things built into it.

The ones that I know of date to about Win98
vintage. I prefer that because I know that all of the
functions will work everywhere, but if you want to
use newer functions in XP, gdiplus, etc. then the
Win32.hlp file won't be sufficient.
