+** TIPS **
+==========
+
+Additional Help Sources:
+
+	Windows users can Google on pythlp.chm and zopeshelf.chm to access help
+	files in the Windows help format.  The Additional Help Sources feature
+	of the configuration GUI supports .chm, along with any other filetypes
+	supported by your browser.  Supply a Menu Item title, and enter the
+	location in the Help File Path slot of the New Help Source dialog.  Use
+	http:// and/or www. to identify external URLs, or download the file and
+	browse for its path on your machine using the Browse button.
 
-** TIPS
-========
+	All users can access the extensive sources of help, including
+	tutorials, available at www.python.org/doc.  Selected URLs can be added
+	or removed from the Help menu at any time.
