For the documentation to appear in the Mathematica Help Browser (not the Documentation Center) you will need an appropriate BrowserCategories.m file. For the documentation to appear in the Documentation Center you will need an appropriate PacletInfo.m file in the appropriate place. To understand some of the details of the latter approach take a look at a small tutorial that I wrote because this issue come up frequently in this group. You can find a link to it here: http://www.scientificarts.com/worklife/notebooks/ and the notebook is called DocumentationCenterNotes.nb I hope that this helps... --David A WorkLife FrameWork E x t e n d i n g MATHEMATICA's Reach...
