it is only intended to be used for the Help-Menu
The HELP_BREAK was introduced in WC v. 1.30 (1.24beta) along with the configurable .mnu files - before that the menu was hardcoded into the program and had "Left" and "Right" menu items in stead of the "Show" item.
So AFAIK, the HELP_BREAK was not really intended to right align the "Help" menu item, as much as it was intended to right align a "Right" menu item. like in
this menu.
Just for the nostalgia - here is the oldstyle.mnu that was shipped with WC 1.30e:

This old menu from 1994
still works showing how backward compatible TC is
Since there isn't any difference between the help-menu and others in principle, I think.
I cannot find a HELP_BREAK in your menu config. It seems it's only use those dummy entries to adjust the postion, and hence the menu would be totally messed up when restore the TC window.
