We would like to create a Help for a Touch Screen application.

How different is this to creating a regular HTML or WebHelp?

If there are differences, please tell me what I need to do?

Quite apart from the terminology differences (e.g. click versus tap) the differences largely depend on the devices on which the application will run. Each have their own characteristics (e.g. screen size, resolution, etc) which need to be taken into account. The recently released RoboHelp 10 allows you to output for mobile devices and you'd be best to look at the collateral released around this. Check out these links:

The applications for which we are looking to write the Help is a touch screen application running on a 23 inch HP monitor. Do you know if the output for mobile devices available in RoboHelp 10 will cater for this?

You can specify your own screen size, so I'm guessing you will be ok.
