In case you can't tell, I am EXTREMELY confused by this
interface.

Here is my problem now. I am writing some articles for my
web page. I want to describe this neat new feature that
I discovered, but I *can't make it work anymore*!!

OK, I got confused moving windows around, lost a few, etc.
The usual thing with me. So I hit the Reset Perspective
button. Back to normal. Now I go under the Help menu
and choose Dynamic Help. It comes up on the right hand
side where it always does. Fine.

But now the button that used to say "Show in External
Window" won't talk to me at all. I can't tell for sure,
but it appears to be sulking. (You have to have experience
with teenagers.) I click the button anyway. Nothing.
Acts just like the 18-year old.

What in the world is going on here!?

Cheers,

David
