My brain hurts. Before I shut the computer down last night StrongHelp 
crashed again, and it has done again this morning. This time, the Help 
files of StrongED, StrongHelp and NeXTBar were fine, then the crash 
occurred trying to access Transient's help. This means that PrintPDF 
doesn't contribute to the crash after all.

Even more oddly, if I now access Transient's help, which of course 
re-loads StrongHelp, all is fine again.

As it only happens in a scenario that isn't likely to happen in real 
life, is it worth investigating further, I wonder?

Best wishes,

Peter.
