Depends how help disappears. Windows 95 help windows should stay there
until you dismiss them, in which case "disappeared" means "behind the
application containing the dialog box". So you should be able to
switch the Help window to the front using Alt+Tab. Does the Help
window have an Options button? If so, you may be able to select Keep
Help On Top so it will always be in front of the dialog.
