Description
Problem 1: If I right-click on a vector layer, click "Save as", and click help, qgis_help.exe starts in the background, but no help window is displayed.
Problem 2: If I click help again, then the help viewer is displayed. If I then close the help viewer, the qgis_help.exe process ends. But if I leave the help viewer open and close QGIS instead, the help viewer also closes (this might be OK, although I think it would be better if it stayed open), but the qgis_help.exe process does not end.
This is on Windows XP

Problem 1 wasn't reproducable. worksfor me.
Problem 2 was fixed by not terminating the help process - ie. leaving the window open, when QGIS terminates.
