I agree wholeheartedly.  If everyone were as bullheaded, and wrote programs
which created "Help" folders in the System Folder, lots of programs would
step on each others' help files.

Trying to rename the folder caused StuffIt to lose track of the help file,
so simply renaming it isn't an option.  The best option we found at our 
site was to throw the rotten thing out.  I just hope we got all the pieces.
