(1) But "Button Help" is not an AHTOCType. The only possible values are 0
and 1 (hint: you want 0). Not to mention the fact that "Button Help" is not
even a Cocoa string. In other words even if a function took a CFStringRef
you'd want to say @"Button Help".

Also, (2) sorry to ask the obvious, but have you actually constructed Apple
Help for your app? You are asking your help book to open, so do you *have* a
help book? Did you index it, etc.?
