It would certainly work, but it is a pretty big bunch of files used as 
HTML-Help-File which would pollute the path where the executable is 
started. So I rather thought about copying all files to a temporary 
directory.

In another program I use a Help system based on a PDF file. This 
solution doesn't have this disadvantage, but a Gambas-internal 
PDF-help-reader can't compete against the features of a Gambas-internal 
HTML-help-reader.
