documentation
"
    a talking view.
    Instances of myself show up either as a comics-like talking
    view, or as a simple square popup. This is configured via the
    styleSheet; the default is simple-square. To get the fancy cmics
    view, add a resource 'activeHelpStyle' with a symbol-value of #cartoon.
    However, be aware that some servers have performance problems with
    these view-shapes (or do not support shapes at all).
