Folks,
	Heres a question for you. I've written a small task ( using my own
wimp library - I figure its the ONLY way to learn ). Now the problem is I
don't seem to be receiving Message_HelpRequest from the !Help app.
        This message no. is 0x502. Now I know I can pick up messages because
MESSAGE_QUIT ( 0x0 ) comes through ok! Now why is it my app doesn't get the
!Help message? When I move the pointer over my apps's window frame gadgets (
send to back, resize etc ) I DO get the usual "default" help messages. Its
just the when the pointer is IN my window I don't get the message??? Even
though my icons report clicks ok, blah blah blah...
	At the moment I have my window work area flags set to "click notifies
task - once only". Do I have to have "notifiy task continually while pointer
in window" for the wimp to pass me the !Help message? If so, how come MESSAGE_
QUIT gets through without this?
	If one of you RISC OS gurus could 'elp I'd be very grateful, 'cause
this is REALLY bugging me - and I can't think what else it should be???

		Just trying to be, Tom.
