Apple Help Book under Cocoa

In my continuing adventures to learn Mac OS X....

The documentation for creating Apple Help, & Apple Help Books, under Mac OS X
states you add you register a Help Book's Name and Folder in the property
list. Simple with Project Builder (no need for API calls). But the documents
also state you need to create a main page (first page to bring up) and a
title page (containing title info like icon, name, etc). When you look at
various Help Book examples (mostly Apple's iDVD, iTunes, iMovie, etc), you
see that they only create a single page. This page contains the special meta
tags for title info, as well as the main window info (I think).

This is against documentation, what is going on?

I could also not figure out how the Help Viewer decides what is the title
page/main page. There doesn't seem to be any place you set this information,
nor special ways to indicate that the specific page is special. Is the
title/main page simple the only page in the Help Book (it usually is), while
on secondary pages are in the subfolder?

Help!?!?!
