Peter,

Tk-Aqua doesn't install a help menu by default or implement any bindings 
for it, i.e. "Command-?" You have to add it manually, like so:

     menu .mb.help -tearoff 0
     .mb.help add command -label "PortAuthority Help" -command runHelp
     .mb.help add command -label "Contact Code by Kevin" -command getHelp
     .mb add cascade -label "Help" -menu .mb.help

This is on Tk-out-of-the-box.

f you're using ActiveState's bits, perhaps they hard-code these items in 
their basekit, but that would surprise me. Have you actually tried 
setting up the bindings and seeing what happens?
