George gave you the answer, I just nudged it along. Good to hear it 
worked.

I haven't written a PG:PRO app in a while(so I could be all wet on 
this) , but I don't believe the PG runtime adds a help menu. If so, it 
must be in your code.
The call is slightly different for carbon, so it might be framed in a 
conditional compile like:

#IF CarbonLib
err = FN HMGetHelpMenu( HelpMHndl, #_nil )
#ELSE
err = FN HMGetHelpMenuHandle( HelpMHndl )
#ENDIF

You might start out looking for either of these help manager calls in 
your code.
