Here's how I do it:

LOCAL FN insertHelpItem
  DIM helpItem$, myErr, mHndl&

  helpItem$ = "My Application help"
  LONG IF SYSTEM(_sysVers) > 699 'System 7 and above
    myErr = FN HMGETHELPMENUHANDLE(mHndl&)
    LONG IF myErr = _noErr
      LONG IF mHndl&
        CALL APPENDMENU(mHndl&,helpItem$)
      END IF
    END IF
  XELSE                                              'System 6 and below
    mHndl& = FN GETMHANDLE(_appleResMenu)
    LONG IF mHndl&
      CALL INSMENUITEM(mHndl&,helpItem$,1)
    END IF
  END IF
END FN
