Bug Description

Binary package hint: abiword-help

Using Dapper beta, latest updated as of today.

Invoking help using the Help button in the search & replace dialog bring up a web browser with a 4040 missing file:
/usr/share/AbiSuite-2.4/AbiWord/help/en-US/interface/dialogreplace.html

Steps to reproduce:
- Open Abiword
- Go to menu Edit , option "Replace"
- Dialog pops up, click on the "Help" button, which launches your browser

The result is a 404 Not found message.

I can reproduce this problem. But if I install abiword-help (one of the recommended package of abiword), the help is displayed correctly.

Perhaps the Help button should trigger a dialog proposing to install the help the first time it' s used ? And have a checkbox saying [ ] Never ask again.
