Yes; the cover letter doesn't appear to have reached me so it is
not in my queue. (In any case you'd have needed to redo it since
you forgot to fix up the broken author information that you get
from John's emails by default.)

Can I get you to redo and resend, please (without the cocoa
patches)?

thanks

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3] ui/cocoa.m: fix help menus

[Programmingkid]

Make the help menus actually work. The code will search thru three different
locations for the help file. If it can't be found a dialog will tell the user 
the file can't be found.

Signed-off-by: John Arbuckle 

---
*v3 changes
Removed code that opens a web page. 
Removed number_of_paths and added ARRAY_SIZE() macro.

*v2 changes
Moved opening code to one method. 
Searches three different locations on the user's computer first.
Attempts to open file on web if file can't be found on user's computer.
