This command is the one that actually does what I need:
compileHelp -o Help.plist *Help.rtf *Help.rtfd
It works in Terminal, anyway.
But I'm still stumped, because I can't make it work in a script
build phase
in my project. I've been all through the documentation, archives,
man pages,
etc. Can somebody tell me what the problem is?
I put a file named "preprocessing.sh" in my project folder's root
level,
with these contents:
cd "$SRCROOT/English.lproj"
compileHelp -o Help.plist *Help.rtf *Help.rtfd
Literally? If so, that is your problem.
When you write ./preprocesing.sh the shell expects an executable.
So you'll have to make your script executable (with the executable
bit) and have a valid shebang line at the top. Alternatively, you
can also write sh preprocessing.sh.
Anyway, following your style, I set up a problem which works.

In a "real" project, since Help.plist is a strictly generated file,
I'd probably generate it into the builds folder and reference it
there so it would land in the source folder and want to be checked
into revision control.
Dealing with multiple languages is SEP (someone else's problem).
