Jamal,
In the name of consistency I've slated this to be fixed even if there is
a simple work around <smile>.

Ron,
I filed this as a bug because the documentation says that the property is
a string (whether setting or getting). I encountered the problem because
I tried determining whether my real help routine was established rather
than a temporary one before StandardHelpDialog had become available as a
shared object. One part of the code initially sets that property as a
string of help text. When the shared object becomes available, the
property is then set to the name of a function to show help. Another part
of code was testing whether help had been properly set by checking whether
the string was the function name or something else. Of course, I can work
around this, but it did cause a problem for me because of the discrepancy
from the documentation. I like the idea of the property always returning
the same data type as the script had set previously, rather than altering
it.
