Blank help files

For the past six hours I have been spinning my wheels trying to get my
help files to be read by my application. I developed my help folder,
based upon the "Andy's Help Toolkit".

I moved my help folder ("Docketer Help") into the Englishl.lproj
folder, then added the folder to the Resources folder by using the
menu option "Add to project...", with the "Create Folder References
for any added folders". Then I indexed my help folder.

My info.plist has the added entries:
<key>CFBundleHelpBookFolder</key>
<string>Docketer Help</string>
<key>CFBundleHelpBookName</key>
<string>Docketer Help</string>

The result was that a blank help page was opened.

Thinking that it might be the HTML, I replaced it the help file with a
folder containing an index.html file that read:

<html>
<head>
<meta name="AppleTitle" content="Docketer Help">
</head>
<body>
 <h1>Welcome</h1>
 <p>Content...</p>
</body>
</html>

I indexed the file, then added the file to the Englishl.lproj folder,
then added the folder to the Resources folder by using the menu option
"Add to project...", with the "Create Folder References for any added
folders". Saved, built and ran the program, The result was the same
blank help page.

Besides the help page for Andy's Help Toolkit", I had also read the
Guide entitled "provding User Assistance With Apple Hel (Revision;
Preliminary), plus Technical Q&A QA1022, and an article on Cocoa Dev
Central http://www.cocoadevcentral.com/articles/000072.php

Any idea what I am doing wrong?
