You need a bit more, as the rule is based on the extension of the source 
file, not the library file.

EAGLE> type test_help.mk
file1.hlp :
<tab>pipe open/write xxx file1.hlp ; write xxx "test help" ; close xxx

file1 : file1.hlp

help : help.hlb(file1)

But it is still not working.  It is creating a text library instead of a 
help library.

I thought that I had it working for all the cases

EAGLE> make --debug=b -f test_help.mk help

Looks like I need to try something else, like a number of unechoed 
commands that test the target library extension and creating the library 
based on it.
