Thank you Jessica,
That was just the reference I was looking for. After a small amount of
plist fiddling in PB, my html help file is now correctly launching with
Help Viewer.
What did foxe me for a while was making sure PB created a _real_ folder
in the bundle to match up with the CFBundleHelpBookFolder key and not
just place the help files at the bundle root. If you get that one wrong
your whole application crashes with a 'signal 10 (SIGBUS)' when you
select help - ouch.
Regards,
Gary

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/.
