I have seven apps open now. Each has "Help" in the menu at the top of
the screen as the last menu item. There's also a spyglass or magnifying
glass icon at the far right of the screen for searches. The Help menu
is pretty straighforward, not revealed by pressing an F-Key or in a
Start menu.
Yeah, actually, I noticed that after I sent that email. (-: All of Window's windows have
"Help" on the menu bar too. Turns out, you can't hide/minimize *all* your windows in
OSX anyway. Just tried it with <Com-H> and no matter what window way last, it wouldn't go
away. Maybe there are other ways to do it, but. . .
Why do you want to hide all windows? Does that include windows in a
program you're using?
I hide Preview when I'm working in Photoshop, but don't usually hide
others. I can hide all windows except in the program I'm using. For
those windows, I can minimize to the dock or use WindowShade X [haxie
from Unsanity] to minimize in place.
I can use Exposé [System Preferences --> Exposé & Spaces] to view all
open windows, or hide them to view the photo on my desktop. When I
search for "hide windows" in the Finder's Help menu, it shows how to do
this.
