Hi! Is there a way to access files within an .app bundle (folder) from a delivered LW application? I'm thinking about putting the (HTML) help files of my application into the bundle so the user has only one "file" to move around. Is that a good idea? Is that how it's usually done on OS X? Is there a specific place within the .app bundle where doc files should reside? Thanks, Edi.

The docs are generally put in the Resources folder. If you are going to localize for multiple languages, each one would have a folder inside Resources. Take a look inside a few application packages in your Application folder to get a feel for how things are generally organized (control click on the application and choose "Show Package Contents" from the context menu).
