About

Ever wished you could stop the Apple Guide or other help systems swinging into action when you hit the 'Help' key by accident instead of the delete key. Tired of waiting for Apple Guide to start up while your busy trying to edit a document. Then HelpLess is what your looking for. It helps prevent accidental hits on the help key, instead just giving a beep. When you want help to appear you can just hold down a modifier key and HelpLess will make it look like you pressed the 'Help' key. A simple control panel interface lets you turn it's activity on/off, control if a beeps will sound, and choose which modifier key to use. Compatible with System 7.0 upwards including MacOS 8. New in version 1.1.1 ------------------- Added support for Simple Internet Version Control (SIVC). If you are connected to the internet SIVC allows you to find out what is the current version of HelpLess and it also gives Redpoint Software a better idea of how many people are using this software. For more information on SIVC see http://www.ots.utexas.edu/sivc/index.html. Added the facility to move the Help menu (under MacOS 8) back to where it was on machines running System 7.x. This is adapted from an extension written by Leonard Rosenthol at MacHack '97 called TempoHelper. Added the facility to exclude some applications from the effects of Helpless. Why? Well maybe you want the help to work in some applications. Or maybe you have an application that is incompatible with HelpLess and acts funny if HelpLess is active. Shareware. $10.
