I understand that, in fact i was probably the most strict advocate of this
opinion during pre-beta, but i also understand why HTML help is chosen for
the standard WinPov docs.  All the other suggestions you made do not have
the possibility of context sensitive help and most of them do not provide
an index.

That's not true, there will most surely be other formats once the final
version is released.  I understand that the situation is not nice now
during beta since you can't correctly view the docs without a newer IE. 
I'm not able to install IE4+ on my old machine at all since my Windows
partition currently is too small so i know what this means.
