Darn, Is there a bug out there?
I have noticed a few things strange lately, the color ball and images not loading all the way in Safari. Things just seem different,,,, maybe,,,, slow? Anyway, now I have lost the help app.
What do I have to do to get the finder "Mac Help" back ? Thanks

As long as I asking, Why can't I connect from the menu bar ( the little pic of the phone )? I always have to open Internet Connect and connect from there......

Use Cocktail or Onyx to empty your caches.

I have used that Cocktail and it must not take out this file. Still wondring if I can take out all of the ( com.apple.helpui ) files when ever I want or do you have to leave one. Thanks

As a rule of thumb you can trash anything in (~)/Library/Caches at will.
