+ location in the Help File Path slot of the New Help Source dialog. Use
+ http:// and/or www. to identify external URLs, or download the file and
+ browse for its path on your machine using the Browse button.

+ All users can access the extensive sources of help, including
+ tutorials, available at www.python.org/doc. Selected URLs can be added
