This is a bug long known to me (I never bothered to open a bug report
for it though).

"vim" has a plug-in to open compressed files, however in compatible
mode (which is the mode used when you call "vi" or if you don't have
the alias set) the plug-in is not loaded, so it cannot open the
helpfiles properly.

Never found a good workaround other than using "vim" explicitely.
