Object.helpFilePath

(Score another one for auto completion in the OSX version... all I  
had to do to find that one was type "help (" and scroll through the  
list until I saw helpFilePath... but really, auto completion here is  
just taking the place of a proper method search that allows partial  
string matching. That's a sorely needed feature for new users...  
well, ANY user, really.)
