Can't Open on MAC

[Paul Carini]

Oh Boy!  All that effort to overcome a real dumb move.  Happy to say it is up and, I think, running.  Minding your advice, I went to "help" to read the tutorial.  But I hit another wall.  Got the following alert:

"GnuCash could not find the files for the help documentation. This is likely because the 'gnucash-docs' package is not installed."

I promise I will not bug you with questions, but if you could get me past this hurdle, I will rely on the "help" menu from now on!

Thanks so much again.  Look forward to venturing into the program.

Paul
