1)Why are the  topic and keyword documentation not included in the
Windows installation chm? I have to have both the html(with the env var
PYTHONDOCS set) and the chm installed? What is the point of that?

2)Is there no simple way to open the chm docs in a browser from within
python?

3)How do I open the online pydoc browser from within python? (Sure I
can open it using the start menu shortcut or from the OS command prompt
with: python C:\python25\lib\pydoc.py -w, but why would I not want to
be able to open it from the python command prompt?)

Why are these issues not made clear somewhere in plain view such as
Getting Started or in the installation notes?

Thanks
