Hello,

Thanks to everyone who replied.

I am very embarrased. I actually managed to confuse wildcard names with
regular expressions. Thank You.

I may be doing something terribly stupid (it did happen before) but I am
still unable to open that "makefile". I do know the difference between
Dos- and Unix-style wildcards but somehow that "*" doesn't work for me.

I see. There are three solutions to that problem You may consider. 
First - You could move that information about available memory into the
"about RHIDE" message. 
Second - You don't have to put "Help" into the menu bar - simple "?"
should be enough. Even better - You can put "Help" in menu bar in English
version and "?" in versions that have no space for full word.
Third solution - leave it as it is now - it's not really a big problem.

Another embarrasement. Yes, this is what I was looking for.

Thanks again,
