Robohelp: to upgrade, or stand pat?

["Geoff Hart (by way of \"Eric J. Ray\" <ejray -at- raycomm -dot- com>)" <ght -at- MTL -dot- FERIC -dot- CA>]

I'll be beginning a new Win95 help project in a week or two, and as
this will be my first Win95 project, I need some advice from
experienced RoboHelp users. I wrote my most recent help file for
Win3.1 (our clients have been slow to upgrade) using Word 6 and
RoboHelp 4. Since that time, I've been rewarded with a new Win95
computer and I've installed RoboHelp 5.0 office (because future help
projects would be Win95-only and we've upgraded to Word97).

As is the case for all new software, there are likely to be all kinds
of fascinating new bugs in RoboHelp 6.0, and this left me wondering
about the best choice of tools for my new project: Should I revert
back to Word 6/RH4, with familiar bugs and workarounds? Should I
stand pat with Word97/RH5? Should I upgrade to RH6? Given that we
probably won't release software updates more often than annually,
would it make any sense to purchase the upgrade program, or is an
annual bug-fix purchase going to be good enough for my needs?

While we're on the topic, are there any surprises in store for me
with the newer versions of the software (RH5 and RH6)? I know I don't
like the new interface much (far too cluttered... I miss the spartan
interface of RH4), but I can cope with it... what I'm more interested
in is discovering what sort of old habits I'll have to unlearn and
what new habits I'll have to learn.

I'll summarize all responses I receive privately for the list, and
I'll try to include any responses sent only to the list (but may miss
them).
