Many thanks to all the Mac experts for taking the time to respond and
clarify the matter.

I have written an application that involves packages, a style sheet, a
palette, and a sets of notebooks grouped in Chapters. I used the following
file structure, which I put in my AddOns\Applications folder on a Windows
system.

ComplexAnalysis\
	package1.nb
	package1.m
	package2.nb
	package2.m
	Chapter 1\
		notebook1.nb
		notebook2.nb
	FrontEnd\
		Palettes\ComplexAnalysisPalette.nb
		StyleSheets\ComplexAnalysisStyle/nb

This works find for me. The notebooks have access to the packages and the
style sheet, and the palette is in the Palettes menu. I zipped it all up and
sent it to a friend working with Mac OS 9. It worked fine for him. I also
sent it to another friend who is working with Mac OS X. He said

"OK, but I don't know how to open the notebook from there. AddOns is
*hidden* in OS X, and ComplexAnalysis doesn't show up in the
Mathematica Index. That's why I'm running it from the extra copy on my
desktop, which is not a problem so far."

Apparently he can't get at the notebooks. What is the proper method to
assemble an "application" so it can be run on Mac OS X?
