Thanks for the report, Marco. I can confirm the crash on macOS when
following a link in the "online" help that points to a particular
chapter in the User's Guide. (Opening the Guide via the menu item
/Help/User's guide works OK).
This is now fixed in git and the snapshots for macOS. Note, however,
that actually opening the Guide at a particular chapter will work on
macOS only if Adobe Acrobat Reader is available; to our knowledge this
facility is not available in the Preview application. What should
happen when you follow such a link is (at least) that the Guide should
open in a viewer, and that's now the case.

When I try to open the Gretl Guide from command list functions, everything crashes.
Let's take the ‘ols’ command as an example: when I try to open the Guide from the last
line of the help, Gretl crashed and the attached report is displayed. This issue occurs
with all the commands that refer to the Guide. This is not a serious problem, but I wonder
if it is my problem or if it can be verified by other Mac users.
