It is related to the latest change on faq. I told it many, many, many  
times.
I also told what should go away: the line with htpp://localhost... in  
faq-hack.xds.
That's all.

NO. I told it also many, many times. Please read what I wrote.

Certainly not; because conglomerate.xml is likely not to be in the  
same path as the pwd.
But issuing yelp in a terminal, opens the whole help and inside  
applications categories, conglomerate manual is accessible.

The same as above.

That's not an assumption, that's a fact.

This has nothing to do with scrollkeeper, this has to do with the  
call used in conglomerate or any other applications to call the help.

I know about it, and I say it does not work.

Exactly; and as I said it does not work. You just have to believe me.

It's clear that scrollkeeper is installed and that conglomerate-C.omf  
is registered, because that makes part of conglomerate's compilation  
and installation on the Mac.

Well it's already to the bottom of it since the beginning, just get  
rid of the line I've signalled at the beginning and it will compile.
