Attempt to fix the Help.gui from my recent tweak (Scott says the viewer was too large on Cocoa).
Hopefully this fixes it, let us know if not.

It does indeed, thanks.

I'm going to add the canFocus = true, and remove the now superfluous horizontal scroller (the bounds fix seems to have rendered that unnecessary).

Okay, I've done this. I think I'll add the 'link loads in the current view' business as well.

This will make the help browser a real browser in terms of clicking on links, and will also provide a safe 'sandbox' for users to alter help files without being able to save them accidentally.

I almost wonder if Cmd-D shouldn't open the help file in the browser by default.

One thought: It would be good if the list views updated to match the text view when the user clicks on a link. I'm not sure of the best way to do this however, as files could show up in multiple categories. Dan do you have any thoughts on this?

Similarly, it might be nice to add a text field to the browser to allow the user to jump to a particular file (and its place in the tree; or maybe first place?) if the corresponding help file exists.

S.
