   Hi Keith,   
      
   I'd just been looking at the HTML help api to find that "The help window   
   is owned by the window you specify. As an owned window, a help window   
   automatically stays on top of its owner and closes when the owner is   
   closed."   
   Didn't think about disowning it like that!   
      
   Many thanks,   
      
   Tim.
