Hi List!
I did the final steps to enable the Help buttons in various dialogs pointing to the right places in the User's Guide. 

Pressing the help button will:
- on Win32 only: if available, open the Windows Help viewer with locally installed user-guide.chm file - and if that fails ... - on all systems: start a web browser and open the corresponding wireshark.org online page
As a Unix developer you don't need anything more to do - the required mechanisms are already implemented. 

As a Win32 developer, you need to:
- execute the setup target, to get the user-guide.chm file and have it at the appropriate place - install the HTML Help Workshop from: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/htmlhelp/html/hwMicrosoftHTMLHelpDownloads.asp 
or:
- comment out the HHC_DIR in config.nmake, however, this disables this feature completely
As the HTML help mechanism is too user friendly to be ignored, the above developer actions is required. 

Sorry for any inconvenience,

Regards, ULFL
