Description Dirk Baeumer CLA 2001-10-10 22:34:56 EDT 
- open the new class wizard
	- press F1 for help
	- a popup help appears
	- select a link on the popup help
	- the help perspective pops up

	observe: to read the help I have to move the wizard to the side. If you have to scroll you have to close the wizard.
		Shouldn't we close the wizard / dialog when someone selects a link on the help pop up. Since we switch the perspective
		it doesn't make much sense to keep the wizard / dialog open.

defer - actually this is not a JUI issue. It is a workbench & help issue.

In 2.0, Help will be displayed in a separate window. (i.e. external web 
browser).
