I wholeheartedly agree that the persistently-in-front Apple Help 
window used by FB is a huge pain and is a contradiction to HIG. The 
FB Reference Manual in PDF form is also in the FB Help menu, but that 
is a pain to copy and paste from and requires a PDF reader 
application.

Bernie addressed one work-around late last year for Leopard and 
earlier: Reset the Help Viewer window to perform as any other window 
with this Terminal command:

      defaults write com.apple.helpviewer NormalWindow -bool true

Unfortunately, this does not appear to work in Snow Leopard, but is 
good for Leopard and earlier.
