Hi Gary,

Check out "Providing User Assistance with Apple Help," the canonical document for all things Help Viewer. You can find it at <http://developer.apple.com/techpubs/macosx/Carbon/HumanInterfaceToolbox/AppleHelp/
applehelp.html>.

There's an O'Reilly Network article that some folks have found useful, too. That's available at <http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/mac/2001/05/25/mac_help.html>.

Finally, there's a little tutorial for providing basic online Help with Apple Help, in the upcoming release of Mac OS X. You'll find it under /Developer/Documentation/Apple Help/Tutorial/.

Regards,
--Jessica

I'd like to add a basic help .rtf or .html text file using the Help menu but it always wants to launch TextEdit or IE and never the Help Viewer.

Any pointers to where in the documentation I should be looking ("Programming Topics: Online help" is no help). I'm sure this went by in the last few weeks and had a reply from one of the kind Apple folks - but searching the archives for this topic just seems to return almost every message ever sent (so many references to help).

I'm sure there was some magic variable needing set in the plist file?

Thanks,
Gary
