You're all right here.
I suspect you're not on win-32, because we're already using *.chm help 
format there which is able to perform searching the archives.
We're not planning to launch an external browser at the moment for help 
purposes.

I changed that bugreport.html file so the BUGS.txt is shown as first 
reference for known problems. Experience shows that users won't scan the 
archives anyway....
