at least until Textpad 5.4.1 there was a 'help' button in following dialogs
- find (F5)
- find in files (<Ctrl>+F5)
- replace (F8)
which was really convenient to directly access search/replace expressions

this button has vanished in Textpad 7.5.1 (maybe before)

please reintroduce that !

The Help button was replaced with a question mark icon in the dialog box title bar.
If you click the ? and then click Find what, you get help for Regular Expression Syntax.
If you click the ? and then click Replace with, you get help for Replacement Format Strings.
If you click the ? and then click anywhere else, you get general help for that dialog.
Pressing F1 does the same thing depending where the focus is.
