[v33.00.16] help command with no recognized string does crash script engine later

Jan

If I type - for example - the following:

help bla

it opens this way:

help-prob_01.webp



... after if I type a search term, the script engine crashes:

help-prob_02.webp
 
I find things work better for me when I search from the Keyword Index tab.

I used to be able to open up the Keyword Index from the command line, using;
Code:
help hmkwindex

...but that works sporadically now.

Same here. And it's impossible to dismiss that message box.
 
I am so dissatisfied with the "new" help system,
that I have been using RightNote to capture the new help pages from the JPSoft.com site,
and save them locally,
so that I can better search and read the TCC help.

From Microsoft:

Software developers who ship programs that rely on .hlp files are encouraged to transition their Help experience to an alternative Help file format, such as CHM, HTML, or XML. For more information see the MSDN article Which Version of Help do I Need? While Microsoft develops future Help technologies, we encourage Help authors to continue using HTML Help 1.4. HTML Help 1.4 is included in Windows versions starting with Windows 7.
 
Still a problem in build 20 ... is there any news about?

PS: I new the workaround(s) but I would be much better if it wouldn't "crash" after an "invalid" search term ...
 
No more a problem with the new ewriter version in Beta v34 (at least in build 14).
