Set Help file location in editor preferences

When multiple PB versions (5.11, 5.23, 5.31) are installed, additional help files (Win32.hlp, ASM.hlp etc.) must be installed for each IDE. I would prefer to keep all these help files in a single directory and allow to set the path in the preferences for each PB IDE.

This would indeed be useful. I always copy 68MB of help files around for new versions and
have them installed at least twice, for 32bit and 64bit IDE.
Before installing a new version, I always make complete Backups of the last version directory,
so the help files are included automatically, too.
Allowing to set an (additional?) external directory for help files would be nice.

Although I like the idea of this, it seems like it could turn into the cause of bug reports when version 5.11 or 5.23 do not behave as described in the Help file intended for 5.31.

We're talking about additional help files, not the official help files.
