Quick Q's regarding MacOSX install of Gnucash 2.0.2

[Doug Latornell]

Installed the gnucash-docs package, but still no-go either in gnucash (after
a restart), or in yelp invoked from the xterm command line.  The gnucash
links show up in the yelp window, but throw erorrs that say there is no
default action associated with them.  I don't know enough about yelp to know
what that means in its context.
