Help is opening right to left even if -dir is not specified on the US locale 
with a Hebrew keyboard. 

In certain configurations this configuration the vm will report the locale as 
being Hebrew even though the OS specifies US.

In the workbench we only set this value if the -nl command line argument is 
set.

I will change help to stay consistent with the workbench.
Comment 2 Konrad Kolosowski CLA 2004-12-13 10:55:08 EST 
I have added
		if(System.getProperty("osgi.nl.user") == null)
			return false;
before guessing direction from the system locale.

The change does not affect infocenter scenario with direction guessed from the 
browser locale.

Logic for standalone help is the same as for the workbench.  For example, on a 
Hebrew machine, one will need to specify "-dir rtl" or "-nl iw" for RTL 
rendering to turn on.
