[comp.sys.mac.misc] 7.0 Baloons -- Delay? Controlled Invocation? Insanity?

jas@ISI.EDU (Jeff Sullivan) (05/21/91)

Well, I installed 7.0, and turned on baloon Help.  And promptly turned
it off.  The damn baloons pop up about 1 second after you rest your
mouse on something, and, as often as not, obscure the item you're
pointing at or its context.

Is there any way to set the delay for the baloons to some higher
number (say, 5 seconds, or 3), or to only bring up a baloon when the
Help keyt is pressed or somehting?

Sheesh.  Otherwise, BH is pretty unusable for me.  I'd turn it on to
look at somehting, then shut it off as soon as I did.
