I want the help menu item in my app to redirect to a webpage, the redirect I 
can do fine, it's hooking it up confuses me. 

That menu item sends by default showHelp: to First Responder. So I wrote a 
showHelp: method in the App Delegate but it doesn't get called, I still get the 
'help not available' popup. 

I have a different menu item which sends a custom action, onCommandLog: to 
First Responder and that one does happily find the implementation in the App 
Delegate, why does the menu showHelp: not work the same way? I can hook it up 
directly to the delegate but I'm trying to use (and understand) the responder 
chain. 

This is the second responder chain issue which has confused me, another menu 
item had to be hooked up to point directly to an NSView subclass because 
sending that to First Responder didn't work either. I eventually decided the 
window wasn't in the chain so it wasn't getting it.
