Vista 64

A few weeks ago us Vista "beta testers" were lamenting the fact that we
couldn't read the DXbase help topics using the Vista OS.  MS has released
Winhelp32.exe for Vista which will run .hlp files such as those used by
DXbase.

Although, on my system, there's still a bit of a problem:  When I choose a
help topic I get an error message "there was a problem running the macro."
The help topic displays, but I can't get back to the list of topics; i.e., I
can navigate within a topic using the << and >> buttons, but to view another
topic I have to start over from the DXbase app with Help | Help Topics and
choose another one.

Better than nothing, though.
