I think most apps that show help are probably Carbon apps. Showing Apple Guide content (and later Apple HTML Help) was the default behaviour for the Help key on OS 9.

Err... by "show help" I mean that they bring up Help Viewer or a PDF or whatever help they offer, not "show help" as in "show the question mark cursor and let you click additional help".


BTW -- I just did a quick test, and you can react to clicks with the help cursor using:

	-(void) helpRequested: (NSEvent*)eventPtr;

It's a method defined in NSResponder, so it's available for every view. Sounds like a neat trick, to just override that and bring up a help anchor corresponding to the clicked button.
