Concerned about menu bar real estate?  Obviously you have not needed
that real estate yet, because if you did the balloon help icon hides
itself.  So what is the problem?  I like having system supported help.
I will like it a lot more when applications start putting their
help commands there and then I won't have to guess, "Is it in the Apple
Menu?", "Is it in the File Menu?", "How about the Special Menu?".  One
place for help all the time every time, I like it.
