ST-Guide needs to be updated so that *all* text strings are stored in the
RSC file. This makes it _very_ easy for someone with the required language
knowledge to translate the program; the author doesn't have to do anything
(unless they want to find a translator).

If you think the Windows online help is good, I'd hate to see what you
consider bad... ;-) (Part of my job is making Windows online help; I
hate it.)
