[ ]Do not display the shortcut key for On Item (for example, Shift F1 or
Shift Help) in the menu entry if it would significantly increase the width of
the Help menu.
[ ]When the user chooses On Item, initiate context-sensitive help mode by
changing the shape of the pointer to the question mark pointer. When the user
moves the pointer to the element for which help is needed and clicks the
SELECT button, exit from the mode and present any context-sensitive help
available for the element. When the user presses Cancel or Escape, exit from
the mode without presenting help.
