I had not run the IDE (I don't normally use the it). I just tried
that and it worked exactly as you said it would.
Thank you very much!

P.S. I figured out two easy way to locate help docs. This is handy in
case you want to tell your normal web browser about them (though Help
Viewer is getting pretty good):
- Help Viewer has a "copy link to clipboard" contextual menu item
(just like a real browser): great if Help Viewer knows about the
files.
- FileBuddy can search in packages: great if you know what you are looking for.
