I had a slight bias to putting the help in  the menu because:
     - Help is something that is used infrequently and I didn't want to 
spend screen real estate on it
     - I have the feeling we'll eventually want to add more items to the 
top menu, and this was a good opportunity for me to get into that code 
and see how it works.

I also wanted to get a functional help link into the UI quickly so we 
can put the help in front of more people. I sent what I have working 
rather than spend a lot of time experimenting with different designs. I 
am ok to revisit to see of alternative designs show incremental 
improvement, but I would suggest we start with this and iterate later.
