I was screwing around with Puzzle, and decided to change the sound, so into Resedit I go. For some silly reason, I had lehelp on. As I was fiddling around, what to my wondering eyes should appear, but a help balloon!! It's the puzzle balloon appearing in the "Puzzle" resedit window!!! Moving the cursor around, I realize that the balloon only appears in the upper left corner in a region about the size of the puzzle itself. I would guess (a novice's guess) that the puzzle didn't "close" information it had sent to the help manager, and the help manager was simply responding to "mouse in <region> of window puzzle" or something like that. Makes sense, so far.... BUT, THERE'S MORE!!! Just for grins, I modify the help text in the hrct resource. The chan takes effect IMMEDIATELY!!!! I don't even have to close the resource window, just make the "Puzzle" window active!! I think this is rather interesting behaviour, and I'd like to know how this is happening.... -Stu
