Summary: HTML Documentation for 2.4a3 not found

Initial Comment:
Idle looks for the html docs

In the source package there are lots of .tex files,
must these
be converted to HTML, if so how?

Using Windows XP

Martin, the IDLE help menu has four entries:
1) About IDLE -- brings up a Tk window
2) IDLE Help -- brings up another Tk window
3) Python Docs F1 -- browses http://www.python.org/doc/current/
4) Chm -- calls up the chm file

Colin, pressing F1 should take you to on-line html docs. 
Normally windows users access the CHM option when they want
to browse documentation locally.  I've never been able to
convert TeX files to HTML on Windows.  Fortunately, there is
almost no need.

If this answers your question. please close the bug.

Why do you say IDLE looks for the html docs? On Windows, it
doesn't - it looks for the chm file instead.
