I would suggest not including the help files in your project. If you place
the help files in an external help folder inside your Mac OS X application
bundle, then you can easily call the help files as FolderItems:
HTMLViewer.LoadPage FolderItem
This will allow your Mac OS X app bundle to be just as easily portable for
distributing to your users while allowing the app to always find the help
files inside your bundle.
