But help 'goes away' when no document windows are open. Historically
the main menu functions are always visible in a Mac application. Those
menu functions that are not available at any given moment are grayed
out. It would seem the implementation of OO goes against that approach
and the root application has only the APPLE and FILE and the specific
applications add the other menus and sub-menus as appropriate. In part
my 'complaint' is because OO is not 'Mac-like' in this regard.
My logic is this certain menu functions should always be available.
Three menu functions come to mind immediately: One is Help. Another is
Update. The last one is the URL of the application. If the user closes
all the windows, or has problems and can't open windows, then help
isn't available and an 'update' isn't possible nor is it possible to
get from the application from a URL within the application.

AFAIK OOo does not auto-update.
Help / Check for Updates...
