Notes
- This verb will not work with Player Runtime, since the runtime version lacks balloon help.
- Player's balloons are not affected by the System 7 balloon help menu. "Show" is not required, and "Hide" will not hinder the balloons.
- If you have other utilities that use the same keyboard combination, keep Player's balloons off except when writing new scripts. Or, see Appendix 3 of the User's Guide for instructions on changing the keyboard combination.
