External Help Menuitem is Missing

Is it just me or has the Help menu item choice "External Help" missing in PB5.40 B8 (Win x86)

It is an available choice on version 5.31

Occasionally, I need access to other help files.

This still works in 5.40!

All CHM files in subdirectory "Help" inside purebasic directory will be displayed as "External Help".

Tested with 5.40b8 x64/x86 on Windows 10.

And simple text-files and html-files will work! I think some other formats also supported.

Sorry, No problem.

My normal folder is: "C:\PureBasic" (contains: 'Help' sub-folder)

but for the 5.40 beta, I had chosen: "C:\PureBasic54" (contains no 'Help' sub-folder)

Since PureBasic took care of my color preferences, etc. automatically, I just assumed everything should work as before.

I copied my 'Help' folder to the beta folder and all is well.

Thanks
