I anticipate I will be in an area that I will not have access to the internet soon. Have you successfully run Python Windows Help before? ++++I have used windows help files before and they work fine. In fact I can user the windows help file that came installed with version of python. the one that I download of the web site is the problem. I installed python.org 64-bit 3.6.5 on Win 10 with the .exe installer. I run it by clicking on Python 3.6 => Python 3.6 Manuals in the Win10 version of what was Start Menu. The icon is a notebook page with question mark. Window like it has for over a decade, with sidebar on left. If anyone else has 3.6.5 (the latest 3.6) on Win 7, what to you see? ++++ if I go that route above I can see a working help file on windows which is a successful workround for me. the one you download from the website by itself I still cannot open. -- Terry Jan Reedy -- https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__mail.python.org_mailman_listinfo_python-2Dlist&d=DwICAg&c=jf_iaSHvJObTbx-siA1ZOg&r=3-xCv_9fHD4qEMBICdrDmpWXQjchU-G2EWkEPa84asc&m=9cqQ_q_K0jhhqy_GlOHSaApBxOjA_KliaKwffBFsna4&s=P2PPb7UlduE9v_e41k2s_qBM2WRlzEzIv2nNRSGuZzQ&e= -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
