Salve Stefano:

  Here SET the author of the Help routines in RHIDE. Thanks for your report,
that was a double problem (now solved).
  First I didn't check a length of an string and if it was very large the
stack got corrupted destroying the return address. Now I limit the lenght,
so the worst thing that can happend is that you won't be able to take such
a link, but RHIDE won't die.
  Second the very long string was produced but an erroneous .inf that I
created. If you take a look at this file (infview.inf) you'll see the
Greetings node have * to denote items, these * can't be placed in the
first column because the reader takes this line as a link.

Arrivederci, SET
