However, if you exit WFW and restart the application, then open the Help About dialog box and do what you said, you won't get the fireworks and message. While it's true that the dialog box has the input focus, those keystrokes alone won't activate the animated message. It must be checking a variable for an error condition before it responds correctly to the keystrokes. So you do have to go through the whole procedure to activate the animation. Once you've set the error condition once (and don't terminate this instance of the application) then you need only go to the Help About dialog box to repeat the animation.
