Apple Help

OK, I'm trying to play by the rules and use the built-in Apple Help mechanism. I have an html help file and have followed the instructions in.
..

<file://localhost/Developer/Documentation/Apple Help/Tutorial/Tutorial.htm>

to add the help folder to my project and the instructions in...

<file://localhost/Developer/Documentation/Apple Help/Apple Help Reference/
HTML/AHTasks/iUsing_the_A_dexing_Tool.html>

to create an index. After building, I see the files in the proper places in my app, including the idx file that the Apple Help Indexing Tool created from my original help folder.

When I request help via my app's Help menu, the Help Viewer app launches and correctly shows my help file. However, when I try to search using the Ask button, I get the message "The <my app> help folder does not contain a searchable index."

Any ideas? What have I missed?

TIA

Simon
