I'm not sure from your question what exact problem you are
experiencing. Do you mean:

IDLE 1.1.1

Sorry, topic and keyword documentation is not available because the Python
HTML documentation files could not be found. If you have installed them,
please set the environment variable PYTHONDOCS to indicate their location.

If so, I posted a similar question a year or so ago to the tutor list.
I believe that when I resolved it I posted details about the resolution.

I've since got a new computer, and just redid it now to check. Just
download the html version of the docs and then, as per the
instructions above, set an environment variable to point to them. (On
WinXP: Control Panel->System-Advanced->Env. Var. When I had WinME, a
line in autoexec.bat)

Best,
