Sorry, I don't quite understand. Is it possible to open an html file in a 
new window?

It's inconvenient to use the same window, a user would prefer to see both 
his session and the help (I know I can clone the window, and go back to my 
session in one of them; but that's a lot of extra work, it's much nicer 
just to open help in a new window).

Somewhat related question. Suppose I have help menu with many items (at 
the moment I don't, but let's suppose). I want to have a dedicated help 
window. At the start of the session it does not exist. When I click some 
item in the help menu, this new window appears, and the relevant help 
topic is displayed in it. When I click some other item in the help menu, 
it is displayed in the same help window, replacing the previous help 
topic. Is it possible?

In other words, just 2 states are possible: the help window either exists 
or not. Clicking some help item results in:
* create the help window if it does not exist
* display help in the help window
In the beginning it does not exist. If it exists and I close it, next time 
I request help it will be created again.
