Oof, this is some Windows nonsense. Apparently they've decided that 
their "compiled HTML" help files are a serious security hole, so 
showing such help is disabled by default (hence the blank page).

If you right-click on the wgnuplot.chm file and select the 
"Properties" option there's an "unblock" check-box: check that and 
the Help will appear! (Don't ask me how any user is supposed to 
figure that out without savvy use of google.)
