Meta-question

Some standard Windows dialogue boxes put a question mark button up next to the close box (the little one with the X in it). If you click on the question mark, you get a question mark cursor. Click on something in the dialogue box and it pops up an explanation. Except if you click on the question mark button up next to the close box, in which case you get nuthin'.

Question box

And — in a failure of meta-ness — if you click on the close box, it closes the window.
