SYMPTOMS
========

If you open and minimize an online Help topic for FreeCell and then click
Contents on the FreeCell Help menu, the following windows are opened:

- A new FreeCell Help Topics window with the Contents dialog box displayed.

- The FreeCell Help topic window that you had minimized.

- A FreeCell Help window with the following message:

  Click Help Topics to return to the list of topics

The expected behavior is for the Help topic window you were reading to close and
a new Help Topics window to open with the Contents dialog box displayed.

NOTE: This issue also occurs in the versions of Minesweeper and Solitaire
included with Windows NT 4.0.

STATUS
======
