In the html docs on classes there are a bunch of "help" URL icons that
can be clicked. However, when I try this I get:

OmniWeb doesn't natively understand "help" URLs, and has no plug-in
currently loaded to deal with them.

So, is there a plug-in I can get? I tried to copy the html doc over to
another drive and tried to get it to run on Netscape, but no go there.

Those URLs are for Apple's Help Viewer.
/System/Library/CoreServices/Help Viewer.app

For that matter, what am I missing here; anything important?

Copying the definitions to the clipboard (pasteboard) or executing some AppleScript (security risk!).

I hope to
hell I don't have to reload IE just to do this. The idea of soiling my
Powerbook with Microshit gives me the vapors.

I'm using it for all pages OmniWeb doesn't work with (Apple's bugreporter for example, or http://www.apple-expo.com). IE simply has the best chance to display it properly.
I'd never buy any Microsoft product (my last investment in that company was DOS 6.2 a long time ago), but sometimes you have to use the product that does the job not the one you like best (OmniWeb).
