Thus, the status bar should say "Press MOD+F1 (MOD is 'Alt' on most keyboards) to see the pop-up help" and the scratchpad should come up on that keypress, showing the manual. That's how I would set things up. That's very unobtrusive, and as the user matures he will figure out the scratchpad is not just for help. Ted
