Re: [sc-dev] Crashes in findRegexp or File

[jostM <sc3@xxxxxxxx>]

a quick test seems to be an improvement. no crashes so far. Thiis really
great. I hope to have a utility soon that will auatomatically fix any
broken help link that can be determined by findHelpFile.

This would also make it possibel for people to update help files
alternate help file path installations on other platforms.
