Open HTML Help Topic.wse is a User Defined Action which, when correctly installed in Wise 8, appears in the list of actions. To install it, copy both Open HTML Help Topic.wse and Close HTML Help.wse file to your Wise8\Actions directory and restart Wise (see the Wise help topics on User Defined Actions for more info).

This User-Defined Action opens an HTML Help file to a specific topic. This topic can be identified by either a context integer or by the topic's URL. 

The included Close HTML Help action must be run at the end of any script that calls HTML Help. This prevents Kernel32 errors that may occur if the installation is closed prior to the closing of the HTML Help file.

Please note that while the Open HTML Help Topic User Defined Action may not prove to be useful by itself, it illustrates a few HTML help calls which can be used from within Wise 8. It may prove to be more useful to copy the appropriate DLL call from Open HTML Help Topic.wse and use it from a command button on a dialog in an installation.
