Help menu issues (Mac)

[Graham Samuel]

Folks, I'm just beginning serious RR work after a long gap, and I've  
started by looking at stuff I did earlier. I'm now using RR 2.9.0 for  
most of my work.

I've returned to an app I created as a standalone I think with RR2.8.1  
(it was a long time ago) and I'm running it on a Mac with Leopard  
10.5.4. Everything works as expected, except that when I pick the Help  
menu on the main menu bar, the name 'Help' hilites when clicked, as  
expected, but then it stays hilited even after the menu action is  
completed: completion consisting of closing a window with instructions  
which had opened when the menu item was chosen. The hilitie only  
vanishes when I click on another menu. None of the other menus suffers  
from this problem. Can anyone explain this?

Also by Mac convention (presumably), the Help menu now contains a  
search field as well as the 'Help' item which I programmed. Can I do  
anything to suppress this? I think it will just confuse my users  
(schoolchildren) as the search can lead into general Mac help files  
which would seem irrelevant to them.

TIA

Graham
