Because that's the way it's supposed to be. When System 7.0 comes out,
the folder manager will take care of nice things like this. All help
files go in a HELP folder, all preferences files in a PREFERENCES folder,
etc. What's the use of putting them in folders if all they do is
make a folder called "Application XYZ Help" ? Then you just get 500 folders
all called "Something Help" instead of 500 files called "Something help".
