When you run the line;

defaults write com.apple.helpviewer NormalWindow -bool true

in  SL it adds a new line "NormalWindow" to the plist.

But this line appears to not do anything.

I wonder if some Wizard could get into "com.apple.helpviewer.plist" and
create a new line that would address this "Feature"?

It's doable in Leoard with this:

defaults write com.apple.helpviewer NormalWindow -bool true

However, AFAIK, not doable in SL.

So the name must have been changed sometime before 5.0.2.


Correct, since it's buried in CoreServices.

There was another annoying change: Now there is no way anymore to allow to

push the Help window into the background, as was possible in 10.5. Or does

anybody know one?


There isn't. In SL, the window's always on top. The engineers apparently got
tired of complaints that people were leaving the app running and losing sight
of the window. Thus, they want it closed after using.
