Maybe I was not clear enough;
I have:
  yelp pathtomanual (and then I need faq integrated into manual)  
which works
  Help > Web site works
  Help > FAQ does not work
  Help > Manual does not work

Actually I have preferences, since there is no reason that mac users  
have to connect to internet to read the help. So for me faq into  
manual is better, because then yelp manual wich allows to read the faq.
That's the same if the faq is not integrated into the manual by the  
way, yelp manual should work.
