I'm a Powershell user. I think the Get-Help is useful, but I don't like to read help in the console. Is there a program that can display the help in an external window? with links and display that you would expect from a help system?

Windows PowerShell 2.0 help in graphical help format (.chm file).

"View the Windows PowerShell 2.0 help (including cmdlet help and the About topics) in a fully-searchable, graphical format (a standard Windows .chm file). Also included in the help file is the VBScript to Windows PowerShell Conversion Guide and a collection of PowerShell Tips of the Week."
