I still can't understand why anyone wants to do this. The balloon help 
icon will automatically vanish from the menu bar if the foreground app's 
menus crowd it. And that menu is destined to be the standard place to look 
for any system 7-savvy app's online help: not just Balloon Help, but real 
menu items like the "Finder Shortcuts" item that is there when the Finder 
is frontmost.
