Yes, did you check the docs? http://www.pgadmin.org/docs/1.8/options-tab1.html

Because it was *really* difficult to maintain, and this method gives
you more flexibility to use the help in your preferred format.

BTW: If you want a .chm file of the help, it ships with the windows
distribution of PostgreSQL 8.3.

Thanks for that, I will set the options.<br /> I take your point about the difficulty of maintaining it.<br /><br />
