Safari 4 help dialog not working

My Safari 4.0 HELP menu dialog is not working. Keeps giving me the "No Topics Found". I think there is a help.plist file that needs to be removed & restart Safari?? Any suggestions would be helpful. Still trying to figure out the TOP SITES and cover flow functions. The help menu would be helpful?

I had the same problem after using software update to install Safari 4.0. You have to reset the Help Viewer. Heres a link that explains how to do it. Step 3 tells you to "trash the com.apple.helpui folder". I didn't trash the entire folder - only the Safari Help folder within it. Actually I didn't trash anything - I dragged each of these files or folders to a folder I created on the desktop just in case I needed to reinstall them. I didn't follow steps 4 or 5 either but the links in Safari Help work now. Also note some of these files or folders may not exist on your computer - they didn't on mine.
