I want to open a file, so I write ...
set docFile to (((path to desktop) as text) & "Help:TEST_HELP:index.html

tell application "Finder" to open docFile
But this opens the file with Safari, which I don't want. So the
second line becomes ...
tell application "Finder" to open docFile using "Help Viewer"
Which returns the message ...
Finder got an error: Can't make "Help Viewer" into type application
file.
The variation 'using application id "com.apple.helpviewer" ' doesn't
work, either.
Finder's 'open' command requires a reference to an application file
for the 'using' parameter, e.g.:
tell application "Finder" to open docFile using application file id
"com.apple.helpviewer"
So, I used
tell application "Help Viewer" to open docFile
or
tell application id "com.apple.helpviewer" to open docFile
Which do work.
That'd be simplest.
