Well, this thread is getting very dull now, so I'll ask a real live question
relating to this.

Basically, where should my applications Help menu go?  The obvious answer 
for System 7 seems to be that it should go in the Balloon help menu, using
whatever resources IM6 defines, and it should not go in the File menu, nor
in the apps About box.  OK, but what happens when my app gets converted
into some forein language and the menu names get so big that the Help menu
disappears.  How then does the user get to my app's help?  Should there
be an alternative "entrance" to my Help?  What about consistency with 
System 6?  Should I put (as I do at the moment) my help item in the About
box & the File menu, and now also in System 7's Ballon menu?

Surely there must be lots of Apple Thought Police listening to this thread
(and handing out black marks for those foolish enough to disagree with
Apple! :-), so whats the "aproved" place(s) for the help item under both
System 6 & System 7?

TIA,
   Peter.
