Help -> About

Primary intended goal: Show information about the current version of
the program. Requires further input: No. Therefore: No ellipsis.

("About" is dodgy wording, though not nearly as bad as "Contents".
"About This Version" would be clearer, though that might make it unduly
prominent.)

What about "About $PROGRAM" or "$PROGRAM Info"?

That's what we had in the original drafts of the HIG many years ago, but IIRC it was rejected as being too difficult to provide a stock menu item for. That may well have changed since, of course.
