Thanks, Robert. This seems to be the best bet. While I'm not thrilled
about having to dismiss my help stack before doing anything else,
this solution will probably be the quickest for now since I've got a
deadline. If I had more time, I'd make the modal stack not modal, and
then hide the other stack that I don't want the user to interact
with. But this late in the game I'd rather not mess with it. That can
be done in a future update.
Thanks to the rest who replied as well.

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.
