I can confirm that. smile
The new version that I uploaded yesterday has the extension ".ex"
instead of ".exw", because I thought that sounds a little more generic.

So PL, what happens when you run one of the following commands?
   exw EuHTHelp.ex open
   ex  EuHTHelp.ex open
   exu EuHTHelp.ex open

( At the beginning of the file "EuHTHelp.ex", you have to enter the
  appropriate path/name of your browser first. )

Thanks Kenneth. I use it myself on a regular basis since Eu 2.3.
And often when here were questions e.g. by newbies, I tried to provide
a proper hyperlink to the official HTML help for them, by using this
utiliy. It worked fine most times, and if not I improved the program
accordingly. (Help for terms like "open" was already shown in the first
release.)

BTW: Thanks to RDS for putting all those hyperlink targets into the HTML
documentation, so that it's possible to "jump" dirctly to the desired
point.

IIRC he just wanted to get some information about usage of the dollar sign.

   exw EuHTHelp.ex $
   ex  EuHTHelp.ex $
   exu EuHTHelp.ex $
would have shown him the answer immediately. smile
