[Pythonmac-SIG] Using the HTML help?

[Robin Siebler]

If you download the HTML docs from python.org and set an environmental =
variable PYTHONDOCS to the locations of the HTML docs, you can get help =
in the interactive window.  For instance typing help('for') would give =
you help on the FOR command.  All of this is mentioned in the Python =
docs.  However, there doesn't appear to be the equivalent of an =
environmental variable for MacPython.  There should be a setting for =
this in EditPythonPrefs.

you try to do the same in MacPython? Which version of Python?
