Summary: IDLE calls MS HTML Help Python Docs

Initial Comment:
A little patch to enable IDLE to call a Python Docs in
HTML Help format if it becomes part of the standard
Windows distribution.
A few things:
- The patch uses os.startfile() instead of
webbrowser.open() because the default browser may not
be IExplorer.
- The name of .chm file is hardwire
- I assume that the .chm file resides in the same
directory of the python exec.
- I'll try to upload a similar patch on idlefork.

Regards,
-Hernan

Ok. I can add the fallback.

IMO, it would be good if it would fall back to HTML help if
the chm file is not found.
