I sure disagree with that. If I install the help files on a local www server,
the chances of the name resolving are much higher than if I have to go out.
Likewise, some folk may be set up to have an intranet but not external
net access. However, just because I am installing inside doesn't mean
that folk are going to have direct access to the help files - I can guarantee
that the pc and mac folk here are only going to access the help files via
http...
I would prefer to see install-help leave the URL exactly the way I code it -
if I want a localhost URL I will type one.
