Thanks for all your help guys - I've downloaded the updated module to
have a look at it.

Certainly using the standard module :

from webrowser import open as openbrow
openbrow('help.html')

works under windows !
'm a bit worried about not being able to supply an absolute path... am
wondering if the current working directory will always get set
correctly on other platforms.....

Hmmm... to be fair - I'm not sure how likely my application is to be
run on anything other than windows.

Thanks.
