Hi Dan,

Strangely enough, I got the same result clicking on the Basics link.
Clicking links beneath it worked however.  And now when going back to the
Basics link, it also works now.

Maybe a thorough ?click? workout of your help menu will start to make it
work?  :)

Subject: MacGroup: Help with Help

For about a month now I've been getting a strange result when I try to
use Apple's Help menu (I'm using 10.3.3). I believe this started with
one of the upgrades, but I don't know which one.

If I choose Mac Help (under the Finders' Help menu), then click on
"Browse Mac OS Help," then click on any of the topics in the navigation
bar, I get to a screen that has a list of related topics, each with a
small red square to the left. If I click on any of those topics I get a
window that says only: "TopicListNoResults".

Example: If choose Browse Mac OS Help and click on the "Working with
the desktop" topic, I get a window with five topics listed: Basics,
Using the Dock, Logging in, Getting help, and Stopping Work. (Each of
these has that small red square to the left, which looks like a "bullet
point" item, but I think the may only appear when something is awry --
I'd like to know if others see these squares.) Then, when I click on
"Basics" or "Using the Dock" or any of these items, I get the
"TopicListNoResults" message in the next frame.

Needless to say, it makes the Help function less than helpful.

Has anyone else seen this behavior? Any tips on how to correct it?

Dan
