Hi Lazarus devs,

Could any of you please commit the patch in
http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=23411

This will add a help menu item that will show the chm/offline help that is now standard.
The menu command then opens lhelp as usual and opens all chm files, just as if you had asked for context-sensitive help.

IMO this is very useful to indicate to users that online help (the other menu item in Help) is not the only way of getting help.

Thanks a lot,
Reinier

Thanks, Mattias!

Uploaded a new patch to the issue to avoid the warning messageif no lhelp present by building lhelp (if lhelp selected as help viewer - like the existing build procedure).
