The Help ToURL command opens a specific page in the Help browser. This and other commands can be added to your form using Action Buttons, Form Objects or Bubble Tips.

Commands can be added to Action Buttons by drawing a button using the Object Toolbar, then double-clicking to display the list of commands. Press the Add button and select "Help ToURL" from the dropdown list. Enter the internal URL of the Help browser page in the Parameters (Params:) field.
After clicking OK, you can resize your button, and select the text to edit it. Double-clicking on the button again displays the List of Commands so you can add multiple commands to a single button.
Note: To embed a Help browser into a form and have it appear upon opening the form, select the "Help ToURL" command in the "OnOpen" field in the Field Tab on the Property Sheet. Choose the first page (index page) for the Parameters field.
