Alvin memoans the limitations of Fl_Help_Dialog and asks:

When my program authoring skills fail so badly that my application 
requires a manual, depending on the degree of my failure I either:

   * Live with the limitations of Fl_Help_Dialog, or
   * Fork/exec a browser.

The limitations of FLTK's dialog may, in fact, lend clarity to my 
documentation when it's stripped of all the eye candy.

My worst-case application uses Python as a scripting language.  Python 
includes a "webbrowser" module that eases the implementation of the 
fallback strategy.  I do recall, however, that FLTK includes a similar 
facility, or at least it was offered as a separate download.
