Choose from menu in version 5.06 under windows 10

Help --> Getting Started

Error:
Failed to launch help

A new browser window opens (Not the default browser (Chrome for me), but Microsoft Edge, that is also a bug)
with the url:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/error-opening-help-in-windows-based-programs-feature-not-included-or-help-not-supported-3c841463-d67c-6062-0ee7-1a149da3973b

Also in other parts of the software help buttons do not work, giving the same errors as from the menu.

Yes, it's a pain that Microsoft completely dropped support for the old help format.

There is a plugin that ships with the client: MUSHclient_Help.xml

That shows the same help information in the output window.

It's also available online here: http://www.gammon.com.au/scripts/doc.php
