Moon Travel Planner: Adding Help

Let’s add a help book and a help tag to the Moon Travel Planner application. Since Moon Travel Planner is small and easy to use, a simple help book (without chapters) is sufficient. A help book is included with the materials for this book.

To add the help book and a help tag to the Moon Travel Planner application, you must do the following:

1. Add the Moon Travel Planner help book to the project.

2. Modify the property list so it includes the help book name and folder.

3. Register the help book.

4. Write a help tag.

Add the Help Book to the Project

The Moon Travel Planner help book needs to be added to the language-specific folder, English.lproj, and then added as a resource to the Moon Travel Planner application:

1. In the Finder, copy the Moon Travel Planner Help folder to the English.lproj folder in the Moon Travel Planner folder. Use the help book provided with the Moon Travel Planner materials (see the the preface for information on how to obtain the materials).

2. Open the Moon Travel Planner project in Project Builder.

3. Add the Moon Travel Planner Help folder to the Moon Travel Planner project. Choose Add Files from the Project menu, select the Moon Travel Planner Help folder, and click Open. Select “Create Folder References for any added folders” and click Add. Project Builder adds the folder as a resource if you’ve selected this option.

4. If you need to, drag the Moon Travel Planner Help folder to the Resources group.
