SYMPTOMS
When you press F10 to activate the menu bar, no shortcut key is available for the Help menu.



CAUSE
This problem may occur if you are running Mac OS 8.0.



STATUS
This behavior is by design of the products listed at the beginning of this article.



MORE INFORMATION
The Help menu is drawn by the system software; it is not drawn by the program that you are using. In earlier versions of the Macintosh system software, the Help menu appears as a balloon icon on the right side of the menu bar. In Mac OS 8.0, the Help menu appears to be integrated with the menus of the program that you are using.
