Is there a reason F1 (Help) doesn't toggle, while F2-F10 do?

When I find the help screen I want, I'd like to be able to pop back and forth between it and what I'm working on.

This one had me at first, too. Just Minimize the Help window to see your Studio One work. Restore the Help window to resume from where you were in the Help system. Or, instead of restoring the window, hit F1 again to get back to the beginning of the Help system.

Yeah, still doesn't behave the way F2-F10 do.  IMHO it should.  Also, the standard Mac command to Minimize a window (Command-M) doesn't work in S1, so you have to mouse over and poke the orange button, which kind of defeats the whole purpose of having Help on a speed key.  Not to beat a dead horse here, but if all the other F keys toggle, F1 should as well.

REMINDER:  If you're on a Mac, control + down arrow shows all the open windows in an app, in this case S1 and Help.

control + down arrow is a toggle. It's one of OS X's Mission Control shortcuts.
