Help Manager Routines

Adding Items to the Help Menu

The Help Manager automatically appends the Help menu when your application inserts an Apple menu into its menu bar. The Menu Manager automatically appends the Help menu to the right of all your menus and to the left of the Application menu (and to the left of the Keyboard menu if a non-Roman script system is installed).

The Help menu is specific to each application. The Help menu items defined by the Help Manager should be common to all applications, but you can append your own menu items for help-related information by using the HMGetHelpMenuHandle function.
