Thanks for the directions, they seem a bit linux-centric for me dozing
over Windoze, and failing to mention that.  If I can unpack a tar to an
HTML, will my Windoze make such a difference?

snipped a load of linux stuff

LOL

Always dangerous to assume, the .tar.bz2 format is very much a linux thing, gpg 
(mingw32) gpg should have been a clue.

For windows, first install gimp help 2.6 from sourceforge and check that it 
works.

http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/stable.html

Then if you desperately want v2.61 unpack the archive. Use whatever you want 
but peazip works and there is a windows version.

then the (default) location is

C:\Program Files\GIMP-2.0\share\gimp\2.0\help\en

The file you downloaded is not meant to be installed by users. If
possible, please grab an installer for your platform.

If that is not possible (your platform might not have an appropriate
installer released yet), then you can also unpack the tarball that you
downloaded and place the en folder into $prefix/share/gimp/2.0/help
where $prefix would /usr or /usr/local or wherever your GIMP
installation resides.

Gimp 2.6 help files, a bit of a PITA.

unpack the archive (I use peazip) and eventually you get down to a folder

/gimp-help-2/html/en/ which contains a whole load of files and an /images folder

this goes in /usr/share/gimp/2.0/help/

big *but* if you want to call the help files from gimp 2.6.x it probably will 
not work.

What I have found to work is: 

Install the gimp 2.4 help package from your repo. Check that it works.

Copy all the archive en files  the /images to the 
/usr/share/gimp/2.0/help/en directory overwriting anything of the same name. 
You end up with a few surplus files but not that many and help (F1) called from 
gimp works.

I hope someone has a better solution. Just broke my installation messing around 
and to reinstall gimp 2.4 help, then the new files so here is a screen shot.
