I found this in Apple docs or on an Apple forum somewhere. Don't have a link, though. Anyways, it's a script for resetting the Help View cache.


#!/bin/sh

/usr/bin/killall "helpd"

rm -rf ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.helpviewer
rm -rf ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.helpd
rm -rf ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.help*.plist

defaults write com.apple.helpviewer HelpViewerDebugging -bool YES

echo Apple Help caches have been reset, and HelpViewerDebugging has been set ON to log Help Viewer errors.

appears when I pull up help. It must be cacheing the help, but how do I tell it
to use the new version?

The best place to ask about this sort of thing is the apple-help-authoring
list, where this kind of issue is a FAQ. Example solution:
