Re: [sc-dev] Help Tree in Help menu?

[Scott Wilson <s.d.wilson.1@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I suppose that's matter for debate. My original notion was that you  
don't mess with the existing menus. This could be extended to allow  
for access to others.

Whether this should be documented, I don't know. With this scheme you  
can't get the Help menu or the original item as instances, so I  
suppose they're safe.
