developer 6.  win and mac including osx

I am getting ready to distribute a runtime solution.  I am providing a help
manual in the form of an html document.  I want users to click a help button
in my solution and have the help.html file launch.  What is the easiest and
safest way (always work) to do this.
In my solution folder I have a folder called documentation where I am
placing help.html.
Using open URL seems to want the entire path:

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\solution
older\documentation\help.htm

I would like to use a relative path as who knows where the end user will
install this but it doesn't seem to accept a relative path..
Any thoughts appreciated.
I assume there must be a way to do this using field value and somehow
capturing where they have installed my solution.

Dear Pierre:

Just as a side idea: why not simply put the help files on the Web? That
relieves you of the problem you describe AND allows you to update the help
files anytime.
Other than that I don't have a suggestion ;=(
