It tried to use HelpString with a non-modal form.  There is no complain from
the device.  The 'i' icon is not drawn.  However, if I click on the right-top
corner where it is supposed to be, it will show up and the help is displayed. 
The 'i' will stay after that but without the usual background.  I thought there
was something wrong with the color cuz I did the debug on a IIIC rom. Later I
found out that I cannot use helpstring on that kind of form.

Shouldn't the help be totally ignored on a form that does not have modal
property?  The fact is it is not shown but it is there and the event is
handled.
