CHM (Compiled Help Modules) files are used in the Microsoft HTML Help system. You can use the hh.exe program (distributed with HTML Help) to open a CHM file at a particular topic. Here is a simple batch file that opens the NSIS User Guide at the "2.2 Script Files" page:

hh.exe "mk:@MSITStore:C:/Program Files/NSIS/NSIS.chm::/Section2.2.html#2.2"

Or just read the manual online:

makensis.nsi contains a full example.

Function ShowReleaseNotes
  ${If} ${FileExists} $WINDIR\hh.exe
    StrCpy $0 $WINDIR\hh.exe
    Exec '"$0" mk:@MSITStore:$INSTDIR\NSIS.chm::/SectionF.1.html'
  ${Else}
    SearchPath $0 hh.exe
    ${If} ${FileExists} $0
      Exec '"$0" mk:@MSITStore:$INSTDIR\NSIS.chm::/SectionF.1.html'
    ${Else}
      ExecShell "open" "http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Docs/AppendixF.html#F.1"
