Could be, but isn't prioritary, if you want, correct it and send me the diffs.

When the Beta 5 tries to open the help searchs for the "WordUnderCursor" (there
are a routine called like this) to search the word under cursor the routines
asks to the Desktop for the first available window attached to it, but this is
NULL because you don't have any window opened and >kbum<. I don't have here the
sources of the RHIDE, but I have it at home, and I have the patch to prevent
the crash under this situation, you must add a check for NULL pointer and in
this case don't call to WordUnderCursor. If you *really* can't wait to the next
*official* release of RHIDE I *can* send you the patchs, but send me a mail
asking for these patchs.
