Help! (Help Book does not register)

I've got trouble (again) with the Help system...

The Help system does not seem to register my Help Books.

When trying to display the page with a specific anchor, I get "Help Viewer cannot open this content.", or it will show the same anchor in the Help Book of the same name in an earlier version of the app.  This used to work in earlier versions  (or with earlier 10.6 releases).

My Info.plist contains:

	<key>CFBundleName</key>
	<string>Aquamacs</string>
	<key>CFBundleHelpBookFolder</key>
	 <array>
	   <string>Aquamacs Help</string>
	   <string>Emacs Manual</string>
	   <string>Emacs Lisp Reference</string>
	</array>
	 <key>CFBundleHelpBookName</key>
	 <array>
	   <string>Aquamacs Help</string>
	   <string>Emacs Manual</string>
	   <string>Emacs Lisp Reference</string>
	</array>


The index file of the relevant help document is Resources/Aquamacs Help/index.html, and it contains:

<META NAME="AppleTitle" content="Aquamacs Help">

(Does each html file have to contain this?)

I call   [[NSHelpManager sharedHelpManager] openHelpAnchor:inBook:] to register display the help book.

I have created an index.

Calls to Carbon's Apple Help registration functions don't help.  Renaming the help books (without space in folder name) doesn't help. Having only one help book in my Info.plist doesn't help.

Also, I still haven't figured out how to allow users to search all help books and not just the last one from within the Help menu.

Thanks in advance for your help._______________________________________________
