That is also incorrect. We figured that the code that calls the default web browser on Windows does not work for some users. As we have no idea why this call fails, we have now added better error handling in this part of the code. So in the next release, there should at least be some sort of error message that will hopefully be useful when it comes to locating the root of the problem.

So help DOES work for some or most Windows users? I had missed that part - along with everything else I misunderstood :-[ -- Regards ...

I don't have figures, but it does appear to work for most users on the Windows platform. And starting with 2.6 they can even use the online user manual.
