For those interested, I put together a blog entry of my personal notes over the years on using Apple's Help:

You might want to think about just putting all your Help on a web site then. From anywhere in your application you can provide a button or menu item that will jump to an IBAction method that simply opens the appropriate web page in the user's web browser. Here is an example from my code:

[[NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace] openURL: [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.netsq2.com/tools/audit-viewer/downloads";]];
