I rewrote the common section to explain what the button do. I did not modify 
the extensions dialog because I want to finish #24782.  #22707 may add more.

Mark Roseman added the comment:

I'm not against online help, but I feel that what's there wouldn't be helpful 
to someone using IDLE. 

Once this would be extended to per-tab, what are the problem areas that people 
really need help with?  Also keeping in mind we're going to be replacing this 
dialog (at least for people with tk > 8.4) in the not too distant future.

[issue22726] Idle: add help to config dialogs

[Terry J. Reedy]

New submission from Terry J. Reedy:

At one time, ConfigDialog was given a do-nothing Help button.  It was diabled a 
couple of years ago.  This patch restores it for both config dialogs, 
displaying a text appropriate for both.  There are separate functions in 
anticipation of dialog-specific content.  For both, there is the issue of when 
changes take effect (#22707).  For extensions, there might be 
extension-specific help (#22705).
