Help Tags in the Info Window

The info window uses help tags to provide addition information for some items as shown in the following example:

    The following items in the info window provide the indicated information in help tags:
    The item's current name. This can be used to view the entire name if it's too long to fit in the name editing field, or to view the original name if you've edited the name in that field.
    Data fork size in bytes
    Resource fork size in bytes

    To view the help tag for an item, simply place the cursor over the item.
    Note: If no help tag appears, it means that either no help tag is available, or you're using Mac OS 9 and the help tag is not displaying due to a bug in CarbonLib. In the latter case you can click anywhere in the window. This seems to get the help tags to display.
