Where is this available? Is this a supplement to the book authored by IBM
and included with the Win3 SDK?

BTW,

Word for Windows ver. 1.1,       is dated 07/03/90        Help is flush right
MS Project for Windows ver. 1.0  is dated 04/26/90        Help is flush right
MS accessory apps for Win3      are dated 05/01/90 Help is as described by Ken
Crosstalk for Windows ver. 1.1   is dated 04/30/90        Help is flush right

Maybe somebody should let the non-compliant ones know. 

Personally, it seems logical to put Help flush right. What are other peoples
opinions?

Is there a legitimate reason for not having Help flush right? 

Post to the group or email me your opinion of where Help should be
and I'll summarize if there is sufficient response.
