[G4] Safari and Help Viewer

[John Wilson]

 I am having a seemingly similar problem. When I launch "Help" from an app I get the "connect to server" dialog box, which I dismiss and then use Help normally. Apparently, the Help viewer is now linked to network services or the browser or something, as I've noticed some help screens are really just links to web pages. I first noticed this in Garage Band help, although it may have been there before as I only occasionally use Help. John
