Just a contrary point of view.  The one benefit of keeping things together for 
these types of apps, is that if you ever want to uninstall it, all you have to 
do is drag the whole folder to the trash.  If you arbitrarily move things 
around, then you are left with "leavings" on your hard drive that won't go to 
the trash with the app and which you will undoubtedly forget you have stashed 
away somewhere.  Not that anyone would ever want to uninstall the K3 utility :-)

The bigger issue is that if you move the Help folder, the K3 Utility won't be 
able to find it, and thus the "Help" item on the menu bar won't work.
