Hi Gary,

Just I moved the HelpButton in my Graph Plotter[1], my activity had
the following organization:
[Activity][View][Custom1][Custom2][Custom3][Custom4 (Text Entry)][Very
Custom 5 (Ghost coordinates)]  ........... [Help][Stop]

If the cursor isn't on the Graph, the coordinates x-y values
disappear. If the labels disappear, the help button would look a few
ugly on the right of the ghost content. So, I had to make a custom
organization for that case. I updated the screenshot in the wiki where
you can see the new organization. I think this would be a good example
of the new helpbutton position, or an example about what is not
correct and must be changed. What do you think about that case?

Cheers.
