That URL won't work if you've moved BBEdit out of the Application Folder.

This should work under most circumstances:

try
  tell application "BBEdit"
    set bbeditPath to (path to it) as text
    set bbeditHelpPath to (bbeditPath & "Contents:Resources:BBEdit 
Help:index.htm") as alias
  end tell
  tell application "System Events" to set bbeditHelpPathURL to URL of 
bbeditHelpPath
  
  # Uses the default web browser
  # Uncomment to use
  # open location bbeditHelpPathURL
  
  # Opens a new document window in Safari
  tell application "Safari"
    make new document with properties {URL:bbeditHelpPath}
  end tell
on error errMsg number errNum
  set sep to "=============================="
  set e to sep & return & "Error: " & errMsg & return & sep & return ¬
    & "Error Number: " & errNum & return & sep
  beep
  display dialog e
end try
