Hi Chris,
This is not bug. In fact, I am very happy that this works properly in
Mac OS 9. There is no workaround that is practible and complies with
Apple's GUI rules. In every operating system, an application should
halt while a modal dialog is open, until the dialog closes.
I suggest you just accept that the Help window is not available, as
Mac OS 9 users would be surprised if they could access the Help
window while a modal dialog is open. They would consider it a bug in
your software.
Ok, sounds logical to me, but, is it possible for Chris to change the
mode of the modal stack to non-modal and change the palette stack to
modal until the palette stack is dismissed and then set that stack
back to modal after the palette is dismissed?

Yes, Chris can try shuffling modes. However, I once needed to display
some help info from a modal stack and if I recall correctly, I simply
displayed another modal stack, which showed on top of the other modal
stack. Closing it, returned control properly to the other modal. This
was several releases of Rev ago, but should still work the same.
I think that would be the way to go. I've used that before myself.
