Ooo, I *love* this! Loads of Windows programs have a big help button,
but when you click it you get absolutely nothing of use.
Sometimes you get a help page for the whole dialog box, containing such
gems as "Use SCSI encapsulation - Turn this on if you want to use SCSI
command encapsulation". Well, gee, now it all makes sense!
Sometimes you get an error message. (Oh THAT helps me!)
But, in the vast majority of cases, NOTHING HAPPENS. Absolutely nothing.
Not even a "sorry, we haven't written the help file yet". Just nothing.
