The" Help" dialog box is not present in composer 's spell check

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Select 'Check Spelling' from the Tools menu item in the composer.
2.Click on 'Edit Dictionary' .
3.Clicking on Help opens "About the Edit Dictionary Box "Help dialog

Actual Results:  
The "Help" dialog box is not present in the composer.


Expected Results:  
Clicking on Help it should open "About the Edit Dictionary Box "Help dialog"
Once I get the Personal Dictionary  dialog window (after clicking Edit... button
in  Check Spelling dialog window), I see no Help button; I only see Add,
Replace, Remove and Close buttons.

Mozilla 1.8a3 build 2004082308.

The file from which the Help button you are referring to is a 4.5 year old file
which may need to be updated. The real bug is in that documentation page or in
the UI design of the dialog window, not in Composer as far as I'm concerned.

This bug should be either about Documentation for testers (Mozilla Developers).
-> Product: Documentation
-> Component: Mozilla Developer
or be made dependent of a bug 129704 regarding redesign of the window interface
since the Help button is missing/not implemented.

For now, I'll confirm this bug and make it dependent of bug 129704.

Ever confirmed: true

No longer depends on: 129704
Maybe there should be a Help button (UI) bringing up with some documentation in
Help/Help Contents/Contents tab. On the other hand, Editing the dictionary seems
rather straight forward and intuitive. I'll leave that decision to
