OSX Menu Mystery

[Dan Shafer]

This is very strange, indeed. When I select  a topic from the Help  
menu, Rev opens a new stack that briefly shows "copy of revdocs" in its  
title bar. As far as I can tell, only the menu stuff is different  
between it and the topics when selected from the docs window.

Clearly a glitch.
