Thank You for you suggestions.
As far as I know, all of the conditions that you describe are
corrected. All the links are relative, and I tested all of them
by clicking through them one at a time.
I am using BBEdit to manage/edit the Help Book, and I have not yet
experimented with using BBEdit to check the syntax of the HTML.

Right. Been There. Done That. Drank the Kool Aid . . .

Right --- it is a GIF, and it is 16x16, just like the ABYble says.
Question: does the App Icon *have* to be a GIF? If so, Why?
Ah Hah! From reading your explanation, and from perusing 'Cocoa
Programming', and (as usual) reading between the lines of all of
the above, I just did a little bit of experimenting. I have
concluded that the App icon *must* be in the top level of the help
folder. That is to say, I can state:
<meta name="AppleIcon" content="HenryHelpFolder/henryicon.gif">
But I can not state:
<meta name="AppleIcon"
content="HenryHelpFolder/images/henryicon.gif">
Do people agree with this, or no? Certainly, when I placed my App
icon in the designated help folder, things now work. This stuff
makes no sense at all to me.
Oh, and now that I fixed *that* little problem, miraculously,
the Help Book loads up in only a small fraction of tectonic time,
now more or less about the same as an Armadillo in a hurry . . .
Many Thanks For the Help,
........ Henry
