Oh!

this is right. It should be done before 1.0. Either remove the apply button 
or solve the problem really.

This was removed, because it was strange. This is a small thing too old in 
the handbook.

I'm not sure what this is. On m side it works. Two weeks (or so) the Sword 
lib had some personal commentary problems. Maybe you have an old lib?

This is a bug and it was discovered some days ago by my. It's already solved. 
The problem was, that the pointer to the searchdialog was not set to zero 
after deleting it after the first search.

If it compiles on your side it should be ok.

I'm glad that you are already helping us! I do really need all help I can 
get, school is consuming lots of time and school make me ko at the moment.
