netscape -remote "openurl(file://the/path/to/help/file.html)"
netscape -remote 
"openurl(file://the/path/to/help/file.html,new-window)"  -> this one 
opens a new window


I put netscape here because I use mozilla myself but we should ideally 
have a config parameter somewhere pointing to the favorite browser of 
the user or where the user can type the command to run to browse a 
file (e.g 'start %s' or 'netscape -remote "openurl(%s)')

Now, for the very first release of FR it's probably safe to hardcode 
the IE way and the netscape way.
