As noticed in patch #1852534 we should cleaning the "Help" menu. We have currently the 3 items "Contents", "Index" and "Search" in this menu. All modern programs have only 1 item for the help file.

And we should remove the "..." from items that opens external files and not WinMerge dialogs.

Greetings,
Tim

    Looks good. Perhaps I'd use "WinMerge Help" as menuitem text still (seems what few applications I checked use) but "User Manual" is good also.
