The shorter help menu is definitely an improvement.  A couple more
suggestions:

1. The menu seems too wide.  Even on a high res display, the help menu
   ends up wrapping around to the left.  Perhaps changing the text from:

	XEmacs FAQ & Web Page

   instead of

	XEmacs FAQ

   and from

	Recent Keystrokes/Messages

   to

	Recent Messages

   and, if desired, moving adding a duplicate of Recent Keystrokes to
   the  Help==>Commands & Keys

2. Re-order so the local XEmacs FAQ is first under XEmacs FAQ
