[Gretl-users] Problems opening the Guide from the Help window

Dear all, This message is just to inform the community of a crash when trying to open the Gretl guide directly from the help. I am using Gretl 2023c with macOS arm64 (Apple M1 chip). 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.
