I have python-doc installed.

If you mean libwxgtk2.4-python (instead of python-wxgtk, which does not 
seem to exist in Sarge), it recommends wxwin2.4-doc and 
wxwin2.4-examples, both of which I have installed.

I can access the docs through Firefox, but it would be much simpler to 
use a single click on the button designed for it in the editor of 
boa-constructor.

I still think that this is a configuration problem with a line in some 
file not pointing to the correct HTML doc filer, but I don't know which 
file to change, or where to find it.

What?! Look, somebody's got to have some damn perspective around here.
Boom. Sooner or later ... boom!
