I never, ever saw an app on my Amiga that used the help button.  

I have to admit, this thread's a riot.  "Useless keys".  Uh-huh.  I'll take my Model M and it's "useless" keys over just plain not having them any day of the week, thanks.

DOPUS classic: Help key toggles help mode that shows function of GUI elements when clicked. Hard to believe you haven't seen this app.

FinalCalc: Help key opens AmigaGuide help system.

And this just from about 13 seconds of testing, there are many more.

Never used 'em.  I said "on my Amiga" :)

I always thought DOpus and other directory tree things were a waste of time - a fallback to the Windows 1.0 way of doing things.

Anyway I've got a pair of model-M clicky keyboards that have outlasted anything else I've ever used for typing and will probably outlast me!
