Re: Contextual help
On clicking the "i" button I could load a file instead of the internal text. E.g., i could check for a file "<xydata>\Info - Quick Search.txt", and load it if it exists.

Maybe "<xydata>\Help\Info - Quick Search.txt" would add less clutter to the data folder?

Re: Contextual help
A tall order, indeed. And a challenge that I hope Don will take on.

1) Autosize (hardly need wordwrap at all, plus mono-spaced font allow creation of simple table)
2) Save on-the-fly
3) Flexible (can customize font/color/right-click-behaviour)
