Right!

(You say "gracias por su ayuda", formally, if you don't know the other person and address him/her politely.)

(You can say "gracias por tu ayuda" if you have familiarity with the person... or in an informal context.)

You may also use "en cuanto" as "about" , specially when you are changing the theme of a conversation:

"-Hemos estado en el nuevo restaurante , y la comida es magnífica.En cuanto al servicio , éste deja bastante que desear."

"-Acabo de firmar todos los documentos. En cuanto a lo del fin de semana..."
