Why doesn't the grid have an onHelp event?

I must have noticed this before over the years, but I have just run into 
this surprising fact--there is a helpid property, but no onHelp event! 
Was this just an oversight? Plus 6.something.

David,

Have you checked the on-line help? <g>

f = new form()
? type( "f.onHelp" )

In addition, if I open a form that has a grid on it, select the grid, go 
to the Inspector and view the events, I see "onHelp" listed there.
There 
does seem to be an onHelp event.

I see--no onHelp event is listed for the Grid. Are you suggesting 
there's an explanation in there somewhere for why there isn't an onHelp 
event for the grid?

Yes, there is onHelp for the form, but I am referring to the Grid object.

?????

Well, not the case with Plus v2.6.00. I have just looked at 3 different 
forms with grids and none of them has an onHelp event associated with 
the grid whether the grid is single-clicked to select the grid in 
general or clicked again to select a column.

As I mentioned to Geoff, the grid has no onHelp event listed in the 
online help.

I just checked dB2k...not there either. Ken, which version are you 
working with? If you have something other than the latest version, you 
might take a look at previous versions.

I feel like I'm in the twilight zone here. ;-) Are you sure you're 
looking at the events for a grid?
