This is John Chambers' tck/tk help window. It is created when you press the Help button (or F1 on keyboards that lack a help button). Point at any piece of the main window and press Help (or F1), and if there is a help file for that portion of the window, it will be displayed. If no help file is found, you will get a list of places where the help routine looked. This is for the benefit of the people writing the help files. You can pick one of the locations, create the file, and create the help files there. If you try pointing at various parts of the application's window, you will see a pattern: The help file name is derived by catenating either "help/" or "/help/" with the application's name, plus the name of the widget with all the dots changed to "/". The help window defaults to 60 chars wide, so it's best if help files are limited to this width. The little '*' button in the corner of the help window will close the help window.
