IDLE currently looks for the index.html file in a few places (which
depend on platform); if it can't find it, it uses the documentation on
python.org.

It should be too hard to change it to load the HTML Help viewer if it
finds the .chm file on Windows, and to still fall back to the HTML or
the online documentation if the .chm can't be found.
