No

If I choose Help->Marking pages I get this:

Shouldn't happen: Could not find topic `Marking pages'
in help list!
Please report ...

BTW: Is it possible to print this message in a text
field which makes copy & paste possible.

    Argh ... the fix is to replace the line in xm_menu.c:

    { "Marking Pages ...", XmPUSHBUTTON, 'M', NULL,
    "help", "Marking Pages" },

    by:

    { "Printing and Saving ...", XmPUSHBUTTON, 'M',
    NULL, "help", "Printing and Saving" },

    - comitted to HEAD and xdvik_STABLE.
    (BTW the topic itself works if you select it in the list on
    the left side of the help window).

    IMHO that's a braindamage in the default Motif dialogs ...
    I believe the only way is to have a real text field (e.g.
    like on the right-hand side of the help window) which would
    probably look strange in popups.

    We had a bug report for this on:

    http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=23164&atid=377580&func=detail&aid=619071

    but I've given up on it. Marcin (I believe it was him - the
    person hadn't logged in) posted a followup to that report
    claiming he could fix it, but never came up with code.
