It has the same logic as Set Help To - and I've burned my fingers on that as well, because "set help to" without a parameter looks for the default foxhelp file, unless it's set to "" in the config.fpw, and guess what - it bangs on the user's machine because we didn't install foxhelp there :).

So yeah, it's consistent in being a nuissance :)
