Rename the Help Menu in MacOS 8.5
by Michael Coyle, 12-02-1998

We've done it before in MacOS 8.0, but the name of the Help menu is located somewhere else in the latest system version.

Open a copy of the System suitcase in ResEdit and scroll down to the STR resource.

Open them with a double-click.

Find ID# -20451 and open it with a double-click.

The only text in the ID is the word Help. Change it to whatever you would like, even a question mark will work, though I suggest you enter <space>?<space> to keep the menu from looking like Special? :)

Save your changes and quit ResEdit.

Replace your current copy of the System suitcase with the revised one, and Restart your computer.

Your Mac will no longer cry out for Help!
