If a browser isn't handling help: URLs properly, it's that individual browser's bug. Help Viewer registers on all Mac OS X systems as the default handler for URLs with the "help" scheme, and so a well-behaved browser should be able to ship them off to Help Viewer via any of the system-supplied mechanisms for doing so (i.e. LaunchServices, InternetConfig, etc.).

In the html docs on classes there are a bunch of "help" URL icons that
can be clicked. However, when I try this I get:

OmniWeb doesn't natively understand "help" URLs, and has no plug-in
currently loaded to deal with them.

So, is there a plug-in I can get? I tried to copy the html doc over to
another drive and tried to get it to run on Netscape, but no go there.
For that matter, what am I missing here; anything important? I hope to
hell I don't have to reload IE just to do this. The idea of soiling my
Powerbook with Microshit gives me the vapors.

thanks all
