Inspecting the HTML content of the files in BBEdit revealed an easy fix:

Change all occurrences of "setupgoto.scr" in the html files at the top level
of the individual books (such as "spch/spchRTOC.html") to "setupgoto.scpt",
and you should be able (after you've manually installed them in the
"Documentation/Help/AppleScript Guidebook" folder) to view the content of
the Guidebooks without booting into MacOS 9.

Caveat: The contents of the "books" (example scripts, etc) may require Mac
OS 9 to work, but you should be able to successfully browse the help content
from inside the Mac OS X Help Viewer.

Hope this was useable info. Let me know if the above steps do not work for
you, and I'll try to add additional information.


Cheers,
