Description
Prerequisites
- I have written a descriptive issue title.
- I have searched all issues to ensure it has not already been reported.
Summary
Currently the Command Explorer using the -Online parameter when you click help or press F1.
It would be nice if we had an option to use the -ShowWIndow parameter option instead. This would allow for systems not connected to the internet to be able to still use the help.
Proposed Design
Add a new settings that would allow for off-line help

Research direction
Start by locating the Command Explorer entry point and the handling for online help invoked by clicking Help or pressing F1. Read how extension settings are defined, then verify the requested offline-help behavior with the -ShowWindow option; done means a setting controls this choice without breaking the existing -Online path.
