Re: Windows HTML Help

[Graham Bloice <graham.bloice () trihedral com>]

Personally I prefer help to be local and not require internet access, and I
despise those local help abominations that spew hundreds of html files into
the filesystem.

Not sure what's up with the links, maybe we need to make them pass off to
the system default browser rather than trying to render them in the HTML
help browser.
