depending on your setup, you could easily customize the help page on a per
folder basis by linking to a help_html method, and placing one in each folder.

If you have more than one content file per folder, you can attach a 'helpfile'
string property to DTML methods holding content, and create a link like this: 

--untested code--
<a href="<!--#var helpfile-->">Help</a>
