Help Viewer is a WebCore based HTML viewer aimed at displaying help files and other documentation. It is found in /System/Library/CoreServices/Help Viewer.app. The default file extension is ".help". Help index files are generated with Help Indexer. Mac OS X applications typically use Help Viewer to display their help content, rather than a custom system.
