I think the reason why just supplying "Help Viewer" does not work is because Help Viewer is not in the standard path.

That was my assumption too (from reading the NSWorkspace notes). I tried supplying the full path, but I left off the .app extension, so perhaps that was the problem. Even so, I'm wary of hard-coding paths...

BTW, there is also a way to specify the default help book in the Info.plist, did you try that?

That's what I ended up doing; going through the whole tortuous Apple Help process. It's working fine now, and I'm rewarded with having my app listed on the local home page of Apple Help, along with Developer Tools, Mac Help, and so on. ;-)

(My thanks to David P. Henderson for explaining the steps necessary to create and register your help files with Apple Help).


Best,
