HippoEdit Help card (Alt-Ctl-F1) remains on top of the editor unless I minimize the Help window. Ideally, I would like to be able to still switch into HE and having the Help positioned as it is.
I used Vista SP1.

Besides, what Lock (F6) found in Edit -> Selection is for? It is not in Help?

The Stay On Top flag  for the (external) help window should be disabled.

I have checked.
Nothing like this is provided to help window on create. Also no TopMost instruction and nothing in window styles. I have checked.

Till now dont know why this happen... Would check with a time..

Alex, my suggestion:

I do not know what Windows Help Authoring tool you are using, but seems to me it is in its default behavior.
Just check you Help project properties. There should be an option to tick off the "Stay on Top".

How about doing this whole thing differently:
Load the Help inside a new file tab (Help is already in HTML).
Perhaps this can be optional.
