Who may help?
I show in my application a Help button, alas it is not functional. I assume I did everything as described in the documentation but it does not act as described. Is it broken?

Followin you find the method to display the About window. I tried several dialog handles with no success. In the main window F1 shows a help text and I'd like to show the same text by pressing Help in the About window.

::method whatsabout unguarded  /* whatsitallabout: the about window */

dh = self~getControlHandle(666)   -- this is the "canvas", rm click only here
-- dh = self~dlgHandle
say 'Dialog handle:' dh

exit MessageDialog('"HelpTest" is a test of the About dialog Help button.' 
.endOfLine,
                   "I'd like it shows the help file as F1 does in main 
window.", dh,,
                   "About HelpTest", , , 'HELP TOPMOST')
/* missing: make this darned HELP button act */

In addition, I found the documentation is in one point not too correct: ooDialog Reference 4.2.3, Jan. 2014, p. 1549, 2nd phrase states 'If the message box does not have a Cancel button, then the user can not close the message box by using the ESC key.' This holds true for pb keywords ABORTRETRYIGNORE and YESNO, OK or omission of the pb argument enables ESC to close the message box, but returns IDOK in place of IDCANCEL.

Ciao.....Mike

BTW, I boiled down the problem from my over 3000 lines program to an example of about 150 lines, may I publish that in this list or may I send it someone off-list?
