That's a bug in appscript 0.12.1; fixed in newer versions, though you'd need to build from source as there isn't a binary installer currently available for the latest release. htmldoc's best for generating reference docs; easiest thing's just to use HTMLDictionary to churn out HTML files for everything into a folder. help()'s mainly useful for viewing stuff like inheritance and relationship trees, which the HTML doc doesn't show, and for seeing all properties and elements of a particular class at a glance rather than figuring them out yourself; it can also snoop application objects' current state if you find that sort of thing handy.
