The main help page is at the top level of a folder called "myapphelp". The
folder "myapphelp" can go directly into Resources or, if you are localizing,
into e.g. Resources/English.lproj. The easiest way to arrange this is to add
it to your project as a folder reference. You may need to tell the target's
Copy Bundle Resources stage what to do with it. You may need to Touch the
folder reference manually each time you change the help in any way.



In my experience, touching the folder reference doesn't always work. Cleaning and rebuilding the target has always worked for me in those cases. Just thought I'd mention it.



Now quit Help Viewer and delete com.apple.help.plist. Build the app and run
it, and choose the first item in the Help menu (its name doesn't matter for
now - this will work just as well if it still says NewApplication). m.



Why are you deleting the com.apple.help.plist file? Pure curiosity here; I've never done this and have yet to run into an occasion where choosing the app's help didn't work.
