yelp as installed by MacPorts does not know how to display them, even  
if you navigate to them manually.  However, the gnucash-docs package  
provides an HTML version for you to peruse; it is installed in /opt/ 
local/share/doc/gnucash (as mentioned in "port info gnucash-docs").

Or you could always decide to fix the yelp port.  If you do, be sure  
to submit patches! :-)

Never seen this myself, although Finance::Quote (the perl module used  
to do the dirty work) is known to be a bit picky and may hang for a  
long time if the web page it's reading from does not contain exactly  
what is expected.  There's been a bit of discussion about this on  
gnucash-user.

Please make sure to cc the list on replies.

HTH!
