The help menu in 5.3 is not working for me. I can get to help with the F1 key or through the help button in the Find/Replace/Find in Files dialog boxes.

The same problem still exists in 5.0.3. Using SysInternal's RegMon with a filter on "Placement" to monitor access to HKCU\Software\Helios\Textpad 5\Window Placement the first instance queries the value "MainFrame" but the subsequent instances do not. However, each instance does write back to that ...
