Fixed Closing TCMD while IDE + Help Open = Crash

Just as he says!

If I issue "IDE existing.BTM" and press F1 (in IDE) I get (in the help) "This program cannto display the web page". Ditto for the BDEBUGGER command. If the specified file does not exist (IDE or BDEBUGGER) F1 opens the "Overview" page.
Not reproducible here (Windows 7 x64 and Windows 8 x64, with both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of TCMD). IDE.EXE is running in a separate process, and doesn't care if TCMD is running.
The help is actually Microsoft's and part of IE -- what version of IE are you running?
WAD -- F1 in the debugger displays help for the command on the current line. If there isn't anything (blank line or empty file) it will display the overview. If you have an unknown command (i.e., something not in the help file), it displays "cannot display the web page".
The help in the debugger has always behaved this way.
Couldn't you could add a redirect for IDE, as MKDIR redirects to MD, or ERASE to DEL?
I don't think it's that simple. Rex said it looked for help on the first line no doubt because the first line is the current line when you first start IDE. It's good that F1 give help for the current line. In my test, the first line of the file was a ":: comment" line. Even if it ignored the "::" it wouldn't have found anything "help-worthy".
Sorry; I didn't read that closely enough.
Still, I do think it would be nice if HELP IDE would open the page for BDEBUGGER.
After some more experimentation I was able to reproduce the problem on one system. However, it doesn't have anything to do with HELP or F1, it's an issue with the IDE throwing an error when the TCMD parent process exits.
Not sure if I can do anything about it (it's in the VC++ RTL code), but I'll poke around a bit and see what I can find.
