John:

I created a jar file with the hs file at the root and the other files in
their subdirectories, and was able to display normally using jhviewer.  I
tried putting myHelp.jar in c:\, in the project folder (where other
resources are being found successfully), in the projectfolder\classes
folder, and in the project\classes\myproject folder (where the *.class files
are found).  I have

URL hsURL = HelpSet.findHelpSet(cLoader, "/myHelpSet.hs");

where cLoader is either null or obtained from

ClassLoader cLoader = this.getClass().getClassLoader();

and it still isn't finding it.  Am I still misunderstanding the situation?
I really appreciate your help.

Craig
