hi this crashes on XP vh/ Steffen

Thanks for the excellent patch... it does indeed crash on XP and not on linux. The culprits are the "append", "getsize" "setsize" and "element" help windows which used the obsolete "template" object - I replaced them with "struct" objects and things ran ( patches per second) for 1/2 hour or so.

However, I doubt that's the only problem out there, I think there's a more serious one...
