Hello,

Just after a fresh installation of windows binaries of 2.7.0rc1 running 
on windows XP as a windows service
Without ANY modifications
i got the strange behaviour described below.

I first tried to read Zcatalog's help.
All links are of the form below
http://localhost:8080/Control_Panel/Products/ZCatalog/Help/THE_DOCUMENT/manage_workspace
so wheni click on a link Zcatalog Product's properties are displayed.

Here is a list of available documents in 
http://localhost:8080/Control_Panel/Products/ZCatalog/Help/.

Vocabulary.py (Vocabulary)
Vocabulary.stx (Vocabulary )
Vocabulary_Query.stx (Vocabulary - Query)
Vocabulary_Vocabulary.stx (Vocabulary - Vocabulary)
ZCatalog.py (ZCatalog)
ZCatalog.stx (ZCatalog)
ZCatalog_Add.stx (ZCatalog - Add)
ZCatalog_Advanced.stx (ZCatalog - Advanced)
ZCatalog_Cataloged-Objects.stx (ZCatalog - Cataloged Objects)
ZCatalog_Find-Items-to-ZCatalog.stx (ZCatalog - Find Items to ZCatalog)
ZCatalog_Indexes.stx (ZCatalog - Indexes)
ZCatalog_MetaData-Table.stx (ZCatalog - MetaData Table)
ZCatalog_Parameters.stx (ZCatalog - searchResults)
ZCatalog_Status.stx (ZCatalog - Status)

When using Zope help System, it seems that many links points to .py 
files (ie AccessControl.py instead of AccessControl.stx)
so the login box is displayed and i received an error "you are not 
allowed to acces this resource in this context". that's normal i guess 
because a python script is called.
But i can reach some of them

Here are the the links with problems

In http://localhost:8080/Control_Panel/Products/PythonScripts/Help
===================================================================
wrong ones
========
PythonScript.py
Script.py
standard.py

in http://localhost:8080/Control_Panel/Products/OFSP/Help/

correct ones
============
math.py
random.py
string.py

Note that there is always a py extension.
The problem is only in API reference item of PtyhonScripts and ZopeHelp
