A technique based on the total-angular-momentum representation the smooth exterior complex-scaling procedure, and the three-dimensional finite-element method, is applied to calculations of S, P, and D resonant, so-called doubly excited, states of the helium atom. The resonances are calculated with an accuracy better than 10{sup -5} a.u. The applicability of an extrapolation procedure to complex energies is analyzed.
