Howdy,

What's a bit strange about that is that the font in the Help Panel  
changes size at all! I tried it with the Help Panel from Mail and the  
font in the underlying Mail window changed size, not the Help Panel.

This seems to be standard behavior of the Apple Help Panel; try it in  
Mail.zpp.

Good Luck,
