The Help Menu

[John R Sheets <dusk smsi-roman com>]

Question:

What should the behaviour of the Help menu item be if no help
exists for an app?  Should it be grayed out (and if so, how will
it know of the help file's existence?)?

Or should the menu item be always enabled, and the help browser
be smart enough to respond with grace?  Perhaps there should be a
helpful help-finding help page, telling the user that it couldn't
find help for so-and-so application, and here's how to fix the
problem or find out more....
