I am a beginner programmer working on a Cocoa Java App. I was wondering if anyone knows where I could read about creating a help file (which would be accessed through the Help menu). My understanding is that I write one in HTML but I don't know how to have the Help menu access it, nor where I put the HTML file. Can anyone help me out, or does anyone know of any documentation about this subject.

Thank you.

In the target settings in Project Builder there is a thing labeled help file. I think it's in application setting but I am not at my computer now and am not wuite sure. Put in the name of your help file there and remember to make the help file a resource in your project. Then the menu will work.

To make a resource file do I just put the file in the Resources folder along with the infoplist file in Project Builder?

OK, I got it to work but it opens the help.html file in a web browser. Is there any way to have Apples help (app?) open it when you select it from the Help menu?

Thanks for your help.

There is an example on how to do that in SimpleCocoaApp on hte Cocoa developer pages of Apple's site
