Solved.
 
When a word is hilighted, Press and hold the Plain Button “P” on the Hilite2000 Palette.

Well. I Pondered. If I were a Programmer and wanted to Place a Preference Palette Popup as a hidden Easter Egg, the highest Probability would be a Press and hold somewhere. 

But where? 

I then Presumptively Predicted, what about the “P”? 

“P” is for Preferences… no? 

Press and hold the “P” and Poof! A Popup Preference Palette!

Perfect.
