Let's see, here's what I've done so far:

Copied IBO40.hlp and the two small files inside IDE_Install.zip to
the Delphi 7 help directory.

Added
:INCLUDE IBO40.toc
to d7.ohc

Added
:INDEX InterBase Objects v.4=Ibo40.hlp
to d7.ohi

Added
:LINK Ibo40.hlp
to d7.ohl

Added
:Include ibo40.cnt
to d7.cnt

And, following your instructions, I modified the line inside
IBO40.cnt.
Changed from
:Include delphi6.ohl
to
:Include D7.ohl

Now If I drop *any* IBO component (it doesn't matter which one) to a
form and press F1, the Delphi help system always brings on the
same "help" entry:

Thumbsize
TcontrolScroll Bar


Thanks in advance for any other hints,

-Jorge
